Maybe you mean the letter to the Colossians. Colossians is a book in the New Testament of The Bible it is a letter written by Paul to the church at Colosse. It was probably written while Paul was imprisoned in Rome around AD60.
The purpose of the letter was to combat false teaching in the church at Colosse and to show that believers have everything they need in Christ.
Paul had never been to Colosse the church was established by Epaphras.

Which two books of the Bible were written by a physician?
According to Colossians 4:14 ("Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you."), Luke the companion of Paul was a physician. This information should be treated with caution, as a majority of critical scholars believe that Colossians was not really written by Paul, but was written pseudepigraphically in the 70s of the first century - probably by someone who had never met Luke.According to a tradition originating later in the second century, the gospel now known as Luke's Gospel was written by Luke, as was Acts of the Apostles, according to the same tradition. However, the books were originally anonymous and were probably not written by Luke.In summary: Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles were probably not really written by Luke, but even if they were, Luke may not have been a physician. However, these are the two books intended by the question.
