title: [An observation of the question of how the physician in Joseon Society was treated or evaluated, taking the Heo Jun case as an example].
abstract: As is widely recognized, Heo Jun was a man who under King Seonjo(1568 ~ 1608) performed his duty as a royal physician very successfully and also left a truly monumental work "Dougeuibogam", an Encyclopedia of Oriental Medicine. In spite of such a great accomplishment as a royal physician and as a compiler, Heo Jun was not accepted or treated properly by the people in the government as well as in the society. He was particularly discriminated against by his lineage members as is well shown in the genealogy compiled by his clan in 1911.
