『醫林撮要 』의 醫案에 대한 연구

A Study on the Yi’an (醫案) of Uirimchalyo (醫林撮要)

Uirimchalyo (醫林撮要), one of the most important books in the history of Korean Medicine(KM), has not been researched with in the framework provided byYi’an (醫案),an East Asian tradition of describing clinical encounters with the therapies employed. In modern times, this practice of Yi’an might be similar to the outline of a singular“casestudy”. The authors designed the study to analyze the basic information of Yi’an with in the Uirimchalyo and to contribute to the foundations of employing Yi’an in Korean Medicine. A standard was established, and the 123 Yi’ans were extracted, most of which were taken from the chapter, Historic Doctors(歷代醫學姓氏). Using this information and in comparison with other medical books such as Euibangyoochui(醫方類聚), the authors learned thattheYi’ansfrom theJinyuansidajia(金元四大家), including those of four eminent clinicians in Jin(金) and Yuan(元) Dynasty, are excluded from Uirimchalyo. The authors identified that Yi’ans from other medical books, are cited in the Uirimchalyo but with differentformat, not with the traditionally understood form ofYi’an.
