Biography
My name is Yujin Lee M.D., a psychiatrist and also a hospice and palliative medicine doctor. Board-certified in South Korea and the US. I wrote 'Time to Read Death' published in South Korea in 2021. That book is about good life and good death.
My Approach
Psychiatry is about good life. Hospice and Palliative care is about good death. I studied both of them in two different countries(My heart has been anchored in eastern culture but my brain has explored western culture). After 11 years of medical training in both specialties, I realized good death comes from good life. They are inseparable. Be yourself and love yourself. Live like you already lived this life 100 times. Be kind to others. Be better version of yourself everyday. Those are a few things I can suggest to make your life a good one.
