| The Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD FAQ |
| Version 3.55, March, 2004 |
---------------------------------
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://www.heartmdphd.com/profile.asp. 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 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. He does this
out of sincere altruism when he has spare time outside
his private cardiology practice, where he sees patients
as a 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.
o He freely helps people to lose weight in an altruistic
Christian fashion (http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp).
o When attacked on the above issues, he turns the other
cheek in a Christian manner.
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.
o He remains truthful, as a servant of Christ, despite being
libeled and defamed (http://www.heartmdphd.com/libel.asp).
o Other Christians have affirmed Dr. Chung's strong faith
in Christ.
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://www.heartmdphd.com/healer.asp.
People arrive in this group looking for help. Dr. Chung has
graciously provided this over several years
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?H10A13167). Dr. Chung
consistently demonstrates the breadth of his knowledge and
experience. This is archived many times over in Google.

22. Who is Stephen?
-------------------
An anti-christian Jew who believes that "Jesus is no more
the Messiah than Elvis Presley"
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?J1B623B67). He is so taken
with Dr. Chung's Christian beliefs that he is now a
cyberstalker (http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y25611B67) by his
