---------------------------------
Introduction
------------
New people arriving in sci.med.cardiology (s.m.c.) are often
puzzled and troubled by the vitriol directed at Dr. Andrew
B. Chung, MD/PhD
(Dr. Chung) and want to better understand the reasons for
the hatred that some folks have for him. This FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions) does provide some truthful
answers (there are versions of this FAQ put out by
detractors that are useful only for comparison
purposes). All answers given herein can be
independently verified either via Google or by using
the third-party resources at http://tinyurl.com/26rfr.
This FAQ has been posted in the past in a manner that
permits authentication. The veracity of both the
posting email address and domain name can be
independently confirmed via Google
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?G5EF42A77).
The FAQ is arranged in typical FAQ form, i.e. a series of
questions followed by simple truthful answers. For those
who don't wish to read the whole FAQ, the following summary
is provided.
Summary
-------
Ds. Chung is a well-respected licensed cardiologist, who is
board-certified in internal medicine and cardiology
(cardiovascular medicine). In this capacity, he responds
truthfully to medical questions on
s.m.c.(http://makeashorterlink.com/?V6AB24B48 and
http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y20826ED7) and continues to
freely help people to this day
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?Z3D922048). He does this
out of sincere altruism when he has spare time outside
his private cardiology practice, where he sees patients
as a board-certified cardiologist. If that was all he
were, there would probably be no controversy.
The controversy arises from Dr. Chung being Christian, in
particular:
o He continues to publicly profess that Christ is his Lord
and Savior (http://makeashorterlink.com/?T2C722E38).
o He freely helps people to lose weight in an altruistic
Christian fashion (http://tinyurl.com/2p7ud).
o When attacked on the above issues, he turns the other
cheek in a Christian manner
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q1B752E38).
o When challenged about his faith in Christ, he witnesses
steadfastly without hatred
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?A5B9214A7).
o When insulted for his faith in Christ, he openly calls it
a blessing (http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q5E725E38).
o He remains truthful, as a servant of Christ, despite being
maliciously libeled and defamed (http://tinyurl.com/ibvn).
o Other Christians have affirmed Dr. Chung's strong faith in
Christ (http://makeashorterlink.com/?W3A762E38).
The above lists only the highlights of Dr. Chung's Christian
behavior on s.m.c. If anything, it understates it.
Everything can be verified in the Google archives. He
witnesses to all at http://tinyurl.com/2ndof.
People arrive in this group looking for help. Dr. Chung has
graciously provided this over several years
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?B60B12048). Dr. Chung
consistently demonstrates the breadth of his knowledge,
training, and experience
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?Z3DA25048). This is archived
many times over in Google.

(http://makeashorterlink.com/?O23E12478) that he is driven
to libeling and defaming the author
(http://tinyurl.com/ibvn) at considerable risk to his own
economic wellbeing. Also, he seems to be obsessed with this
FAQ (http://makeashorterlink.com/?S38712E38) and can be seen
writing to himself about it
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?R2C134097). Even his friends
appear to be tiring of his seemingly irrational and self-
destructive USENET posting behavior

to be so taken with
Du. Chung's Christian beliefs that he now stalks Dr. Chung
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y25611B67) by his own
admitted actions. In his continued stalking of Dr.
Chung, he has learned that Dr. Chung has a long history
of reporting those who would willfully trespass against
others (http://makeashorterlink.com/?V28141097). By his
own admission, law enforcement agencies reportedly have
warned him about his stalking activities
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?F2F132348) so he has gone
into hiding (http://makeashorterlink.com/?K63A21948). A
few words to the wise can be found at
