Hector Charles Cameron (17 July 1878, Glasgow – 1 April 1958) was a British physician and paediatrician.[1] [2] [3]
Hector Charles Cameron, the younger son of Sir Hector Clare Cameron,[4] was known as Charles Cameron. He was educated at Clifton College and then at the University of Glasgow, before he became in 1898 a Foundation Scholar in Science at St John's College, Cambridge. He graduated there B.A. (Nat. Sci. Trip., 1st Class) in 1901 and won a university scholarship to Guy's Hospital.[1]
At Guy's Hospital he held a variety of posts, including demonstrator of physiology, out-patients officer, house-physician, anaesthetist, and medical registrar, before being appointed assistant physician in 1910, medical school sub-dean in 1911, and medical school dean in 1912.[1] In 1920 he chose to become a paediatric specialist instead of appointment as a full physician.[2] For many years he was editor of the Guy's Hospital Gazette.[1]
Cameron delivered the Lumleian Lectures (Some Forms of Vomiting in Infancy) in 1925.[1] He was Chief Medical Officer for the Motor Union and United British Insurance Co. From the University of Glasgow, he received an M.A. in 1906 and an honorary LL.D. in 1956.[2]
Cameron married in 1908. The marriage produced two daughters.[3]
