Theodore C. Lyster is a familiar name to aerospace medicine physicians. His early recognition of the unique physical requirements of aviators, the specialized training necessary for flight surgeons, and the need for altitude physiology research provided the foundation on which the specialty of aviation medicine was built. Lyster's medical career, however, encompassed much more than aviation medicine. From his earliest assignment as a contract physician in Cuba in 1899 until his entry into private practice in 1921, he was heavily involved with the fight against yellow fever. In the era before medical residencies were commonplace, Lyster sought out training in ophthalmology and otolaryngology in the U.S. and abroad. His clinical and organizational abilities made him a valuable asset during the construction of the Panama Canal and during World War I. Lyster's many talents and his philosophy about aviation medicine make him a worthy role model for flight surgeons today.
西奥多·C·利斯特这个名字对于航空医学医生来说并不陌生。他很早就认识到飞行员独特的身体需求、飞行外科医生所需的专业培训，以及海拔生理学研究的必要性，这些为航空医学专业的建立奠定了基础。然而，利斯特的医学职业生涯所涵盖的远不止航空医学。从1899年他最早作为古巴的合同医生开始工作，到1921年进入私人执业，他一直深度参与抗击黄热病的工作。在医学住院医师培训尚未普及的时代，利斯特在美国和国外寻求眼科和耳鼻喉科的培训。他的临床和组织能力使他在巴拿马运河建设期间和第一次世界大战期间成为了宝贵的资产。利斯特的众多才能以及他对航空医学的理念，使他成为当今飞行外科医生值得效仿的榜样。
