Before World War 1 both the United States of America and Australia had rather rudimentary medical systems. Enterprising practitioners in both countries tended to look to continental Europe (especially Germany) and the United Kingdom as places of medical renown. The outbreak of World War 1 changed this but also enabled doctors from both the United States and Australia to work in military hospitals in Europe. The interactions that occurred were important for their professional development and led to some close associations between American and antipodean doctors. Examples of these were the experiences of Harvey Cushing, a burgeoning American neurosurgeon, which he recounted in his diary. His commentary merits close inspection and analysis. An account of some of Cushing's Australian connections post World War 1 is given in Part 2 (in press).
一战前，美国和澳大利亚的医疗体系都相当原始。两国的有进取心的医生往往将目光投向欧洲大陆（尤其是德国）和英国，认为这些地方是医学圣地。一战的爆发改变了这种情况，但也使来自美国和澳大利亚的医生能够在欧洲的军事医院工作。这些互动对他们的专业发展很重要，并导致美国和澳大拉西亚医生之间建立了一些密切的联系。哈维·库欣（Harvey Cushing）等崭露头角的美国神经外科医生的经历就是一个例子，他在日记中对此进行了叙述。他的评论值得仔细观察和分析。第 2 部分（即将出版）介绍了库欣在一战后的一些澳大利亚关系。
