摘要

赫濟時，美國人，1893年1月6日出生，父親和姨父都是醫師，五歲時便自父執輩醫院見過新發明的X光攝影機。不幸八歲喪父，隨姨父習醫與X光攝影及像片沖洗，喜愛手作工藝，以能充當X光匠為傲。從小學到大學，都靠半工半讀求學。唸大學醫預科時，志趣在醫學與生理學之間搖擺。大學第三年姨父去逝，一度放棄醫學而就生理學。1915年大學畢業前夕，欲投入歐洲戰場美國紅十字會救災隊，卻順從指導教授的安排，前往上海醫學院教授生理學。因操作X光機從新接觸臨床工作，決意回美國完成醫學教育。因與洛克菲勒基金會推展中國醫學教育計畫主持人接觸，奠定了日後在北平協和醫學院、芝加哥大學和在台灣的國防醫學院、榮民總醫院放射線學推廣教育的契機。

Paul C. Hodges, an American, was born on January 6, 1893. His father and uncle were physicians, he observed the newly invented X-ray machine as early as 5 years old in his uncle's hospital. Unfortunately Paul’s father died 3 years later, so he followed his uncle to learn medicine, X-ray exposure, film development and mechanics and was proud of the appellation as X-ray man. From grade school to university, Paul had to work hard for schooling and living. His interesting swung between medicine and physiology in the University of Wisconsin but concentrated in physiology after his uncle expired. A few months before graduation from the university, Mr. Hodges attempted to join the relief expedition of the American Red Cross in Europe but eventually went to Shanghai to teach physiology in the Harvard Medical School of China in 1915 by the recommendation of Dr. Percy Dawson, the professor of physiology. X-ray machine operation and reestablishment of clinical contacts in China convinced Mr. Hodges that he should finish his medical education in the United States. With the acquaintance of the members of the Rockefeller Foundation such as Simon Flexner and Roger Green and the future medical program in China, opportunities were harbored that one day Mr. Hodges would go to mainland China (Peking Union Medical School), University of Chicago, and later to Taiwan (National Defense Medical Center and Veterans General Hospital-Taipei) for teaching and the development of radiology.
