Henry Norman Bethune (//bn/); Born in 1890, 1939; China; pinyin: Nu'rmàn Báiqi (n) is a Canadian physician and medical pioneer.
During the Spanish Civil War, Bethune came to international prominence first for his work as a frontline surgeon for the Republican party.
But it was his service with the Communist Eighth Route Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War that would have earned him acclaim.
Dr.Bethune brought modern medicine to rural China, and many patients were treated as well as wounded soldiers.
His selfless service left a lasting impression on the Chinese people, especially CPC's leader, Mao Zedong.
Mao wrote an eulogy to him that was recalled by generations of Chinese people.
Bethune is credited with saving millions of Chinese troops and civilians during the Second-Sino Japanese War and is regarded as one of the world's most influential doctors of all time. Though Bethune was the one who was in charge of establishing a mobile blood-transfusion service for frontline operations in the Spanish Civil War, he died of blood poisoning.
Wars were motivated by profits, not principles, according to a leading communist and veteran of the First World War.
Statues in his honour can be found in Chinese cities.
Early life
Bethune was born in Gravenhurst, Ontario, on March 4, 1890. His birth certificate was mistakenly published on March 3. Janet and Malcolm were his siblings, and they were his siblings.
Bethune attended Owen Sound Collegiate Institute, graduating in 1907. He enrolled at the University of Toronto to study physiology and biochemistry after a brief stint as a primary school teacher in Edgeley in 1909. He halted his studies for a year in 1911 to work with the Reading Camp Association (later Frontier College) at a remote lumber camp near Whitefish, Sudbury. In the fall of 1912, he returned to the University of Toronto, this time in the faculty of medicine.
After being accepted into the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, he once more stopped medical training in 1914. Bethune became the No. 4 in the Canadian Army. In France, 2 Field Ambulance will act as a stretcher-bearer. At the Second Battle of Ypres he was wounded by shrapnel and was sent to an English hospital to recover, repatriating to Canada in October 1915. He returned to Toronto to complete his medical degree as he recovered from his injury. He obtained his M.D. In 1916, there were 191 people who died in 1916.
Personal life
Bethune joined the Royal Navy as a Surgeon-Lieutenant at Chatham Hospital in England in 1917, when the war was still underway. At The Hospital for Sick Children in Great Ormond Street, London, he began an internship in 1919 specializing in children's diseases. He then moved to Edinburgh, where he obtained his FRCS certificate at the Royal College of Surgeons. He married Frances Penney in 1923, who died in 1920. After a one-year "Grand Tour" of Europe, during which they spent a significant portion of her inheritance, Bethune and her wife took up private practice and then part-time teaching at the Detroit College of Medicine and Surgery.
Bethune contracted tuberculosis in 1926. In Saranac Lake, New York, he sought medical attention at the Trudeau Sanatorium. Frances divorced Bethune and returned to her homeland in Scotland at this moment.
In the 1920s, a sanatorium was essentially bed rest. While convalescing, Bethune learned of pneumothorax, a revolutionary new therapy for tuberculosis. This involved chemically collapsing the tubercular (diseased) lung, allowing it to rest and heal itself. This therapy, according to the Trudeau doctors, was too new and risky. Bethune, on the other hand, resisted. He had the surgery and recovered in a complete and healthy manner.
In 1929 Bethune returned to Frances, and his closest and colleague, Dr. Graham Ross, was the best man at the wedding. They divorced again in 1933, for the final time.
Dr. Edward William Archibald, surgeon-in-chief of McGill University's Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, was born in 1928. Bethune developed or modified more than a dozen new surgical tools from 1928 to 1936. The Bethune Rib Shears, his most popular unit, is still in use today. He wrote 14 papers describing his experiments in thoracic surgery. In 1921, he began practicing surgery at the Toronto General Hospital.
