In Sam-Kuk-Sa-Ki there are several types of records which are associated with medicine. They are of the plagues, delivery of twins, drugs in use of the time, religious healing and names of some diseases. Records of plagues are most frequently described and they are described associated with climate and natural disasters. Those who delivered twins were awarded by the nation. Because at that time when population was not so large, the population was the power of the nation. As Buddhism was the ruling religion of the time, records of religious healing were mostly associated with the Buddhism. Medical records in Sam-Kuk-Sa-Ki gives us valuable clues to the understanding of the medicine of the time, the ancient Koreans' concept of diseases and the way how they confronted them.
在《三国史记》中有几种与医学相关的记录。它们是关于瘟疫、双胞胎分娩、当时使用的药物、宗教治疗以及一些疾病的名称。瘟疫的记录描述最为频繁，并且它们被描述为与气候和自然灾害相关。那些接生双胞胎的人会受到国家的奖赏。因为在那个时候人口还不算多，人口就是国家的力量。由于佛教是当时的统治宗教，宗教治疗的记录大多与佛教相关。《三国史记》中的医学记录为我们理解当时的医学、古代朝鲜人的疾病观念以及他们应对疾病的方式提供了宝贵的线索。
