Obituary
Han Koo Lee, MD, PhD 1929-2004
Han Koo Lee was born on November 3, 1929, and, along with his wife and his mother-in-law, tragically died in a fire in Seoul, Korea, on January 31, 2004. After completing his premedical work at Seoul National University, he attended the College of Medicine at Seoul National University, from which he graduated in 1954. He then faithfully performed his military duty in the Korean Army by serving in the Korean Army hospitals and the 121st United States Army Evacuation Hospital.
Han Koo Lee was one of very few Korean physicians who received an internship and residency training in the United States during the 1950s, after the Korean War. In 1957, he served an internship in a Columbia University-affiliated hospital in the Manhattan section of New York, and then he entered a residency in orthopaedic surgery at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky. His mentor was William K. Massie Jr., MD, who trained at Massachusetts General Hospital and served as an Anna Kane Teaching Fellow at New York Orthopaedic Hospital. Han Koo Lee's beloved wife, Nam Ji Cho, MD, PhD, was at that time training in pediatrics at Louisville General Hospital. It was during this time that their two sons, Francis Young-In and Fred Su-In, were born (Francis in 1962 and Fred in 1963). Their daughter, Christina Moonhee, was born six years later, in 1969.
Although Han Koo Lee had hoped to continue his medical career in the United States after his residency and had obtained a fellowship position at New York Orthopaedic Hospital, he was recruited to Seoul National University Medical School in 1964, where he continued his professional career as a physician and professor. He contributed far more to the field of orthopaedics than he ever received in the way of honors and recognition. He taught modern orthopaedic surgery to young students and physicians and served as Professor and Chairman of Orthopaedic Surgery at Seoul National University. He founded the Korean Bone Tumor Society and the Korean Traumatology Association. He also served as the president of many societies, including the Korean Orthopaedic Association, the Korean Knee Society, and the Asian Pacific Musculoskeletal Tumor Society. Furthermore, as President of the International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS), he completely devoted himself to hosting that group's Thirteenth International Symposium on Limb Salvage that is scheduled to take place in Seoul, Korea, in 2005. Sadly, his work was cut short by the tragic accident that took his life and the lives of his wife and mother-in-law, whom he unsuccessfully struggled to save from the fire. Han Koo Lee is survived by his three children: Francis, who trained under his father and is currently working as Chief of the Tumor and Bone Disease Service and Director of the Center for Orthopaedic Research at New York Orthopaedic Hospital at Columbia University in New York; Fred, who is a practicing orthopaedic surgeon in Fort Lee, New Jersey; and Christina, who studied economics at Smith College and worked as a banker in Manhattan, New York, before moving to Hong Kong, where she now resides.
Han Koo Lee was kind but determined. He followed both the modern and the traditional style of living, and he enjoyed mountain climbing, reading, watching movies, listening to music, and playing tennis and golf. He cared about residents and colleagues, and he established the Jeong-San (meaning "tranquil mountain," which was his pen name) Scholarship Award to enhance the orthopaedic education of younger generations. When Han Koo Lee taught medical students and residents, he always took the time to impart valuable lessons on medical ethics and on life in general in addition to the usual lessons in orthopaedic surgery. In particular, he would explain that there are three different types of doctors: a doctor who cures only a disease, a doctor who cures a person, and a doctor who cures a country (a "great" doctor). He himself ceaselessly practiced to be a doctor who cures a country. Han Koo Lee's indomitable spirit was remarkable to the very end, and he was an inspiration to us all.
