擔任矯正教科書共同作者 /林詩詠 醫師

The SHINING moment in my life

能夠在兩本舉世聞名的矯正教科書中擔任章節共同作者，對我來說是一件幾乎難以想像的事。更特別的是，我能在 40 歲之前，有幸在《Graber Orthodontics: Current Principles and Techniques, 7th edition》（被譽為矯正聖經）與 Dr. Park 編撰的《Temporary Anchorage Devices in Clinical Orthodontics》專書中，分別撰寫了屬於自己的章節。

這一切絕非偶然，而是因為有兩位貴人(當然還有在我們背後支持著我們的偉大女性們)，一直在我生命中給予我最關鍵的支持與鼓勵——我的老師 Chris Chang（張慧男）老師，以及他的指導教授 Dr. Gene Roberts (Our Grand-pa)。

這次 Dr. Roberts 來台灣拜訪 Chris 張慧男老師，高老師特地邀請我和老師們一起去南投出遊，我滿懷感激地從高雄帶著這兩本厚重的教科書前往溪頭，只為了親手把書交給他，請他簽名。那兩天與他們在森林中的交流，對Roberts老師的學者風範和對各種事物的好奇心印象深刻。張醫師和Roberts老師的父子情深（已經不只是師生情深）又彷彿兩個頑童般的相處模式和對話

真的很有趣😄，是我這輩子都不會忘記的寶貴記憶。

牛頓：「如果我能看得更遠，是因為我站在巨人的肩膀上。」

If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

我比牛頓幸運，因為我有兩位巨人，就是 Chris 老師與我們的「師公」Dr. Roberts。沒有他們，我絕不可能走到這裡(當然，我會繼續努力走下去！)

特別感動的是，在《Graber, 7th edition》這本教科書中，全書竟然只有三位來自台灣的共同作者，而這三位——Chris Chang 醫師、我的同學 Eric Hsu（徐重興）醫師，以及我——我們都來自新竹的 貝多芬矯正中心。這幾乎成為我40年人生中最重要的成就之一，真的作夢都會笑了，這兩本教科書一定會成為我們林家的傳家寶的😄。

懷著最深的感謝，記錄下這段意義非凡的時刻。未來，我會繼續努力，不辜負一路以來每一位給我機會的老師與前輩。

P.S.

對！就是影片第 47 秒！Dr. Roberts 在我肩膀上拍的那三下，我深信那三下就代表著 30 年的功力傳承！哈哈哈！

The SHINING moment in my life

Becoming a co-author of chapters in two world-renowned orthodontic textbooks is something I could have never imagined. What makes it even more special is that, before turning 40, I had the honor of contributing to “Graber Orthodontics: Current Principles and Techniques, 7th edition”—often called the Bible of Orthodontics—and to “Temporary Anchorage Devices in Clinical Orthodontics”, edited by Dr. Park.

This didn’t happen by chance. It was only possible because of two incredible mentors—(and of course, the amazing women who support us from behind the scenes)—who have given me unwavering encouragement and guidance throughout my journey: my teacher Dr. Chris Chang and his mentor, Dr. Gene Roberts (our beloved Grand-pa).

When Dr. Roberts visited Taiwan to see Dr. Chang, Chris and ShuFen kindly invited me to join them on a trip to Nantou. With deep gratitude, I carried both heavy textbooks all the way from Kaohsiung to Xitou, just to hand them to Dr. Roberts in person and ask for his signature.

Those two days in the forest, sharing thoughts and laughter with these two masters, will remain one of the most treasured memories of my life.

I was especially impressed by Dr. Roberts’ scholarly humility and his genuine curiosity about everything, and the father-son bond between him and Dr. Chang, which sometimes felt more like watching two playful kids tease and challenge each other—warm, humorous, and full of life.

As Newton once said:

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

I consider myself even luckier than Newton—because I have two giants: Dr. Chris Chang and Dr. Roberts. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today (and of course, I’ll keep working hard to go further!).

One thing that truly moves me is this: in the entire Graber 7th edition, there are only three co-authors from Taiwan—Dr. Chris Chang, my classmate Dr. Eric Hsu(徐重興), and myself—and all three of us are from the Beethoven Orthodontic Center in Hsinchu.

This is without a doubt one of the most meaningful accomplishments in my 40 years of life. Honestly, it still feels like a dream—and yes, these two textbooks are definitely going to become Lin family heirlooms!

With heartfelt gratitude, I write this post to mark such a significant chapter in my journey. I’ll keep striving forward, doing my best to honor the teachers and mentors who believed in me.

P.S.

Yes—that moment at 47 seconds in the video! When Dr. Roberts gently patted my shoulder three times, I’m convinced those three pats were a direct transfer of 30 years of orthodontic mastery. Haha!
