Bethune's photo
Bethune was a brave child when he was a child. He was born into a pastor's family in a small town in Canada. At the age of six, he even explored Toronto alone. Later, he fell in love with catching butterflies and sparrows, and gradually became interested in anatomy, continuing his grandfather's path as a surgeon.
Later, Bethune graduated from medical school and contracted tuberculosis. He invented artificial pneumothorax therapy and was cured. After that, I worked in a hospital, during which I developed and innovated a series of medical equipment, which was a sensation and published more than ten influential academic papers.
Later, Bethune gradually began his revolutionary road, and he joined the * * * organization at 1935, which also became a major turning point in his life. The next year, he joined the Spanish anti-fascist volunteer team and stayed there for a whole year. After that, he volunteered to lead the medical team to China and was trapped in the front line to work with the soldiers. He officially started his 38-year revolutionary career in China and ended his life in this red land.
Throughout Bethune's brief introduction, I believe that no one can but be moved by his spirit. His attitude towards work, his determination to face the revolution and his quality of self-sacrifice will always be a beacon to guide us forward.
Reveal the year when Bethune came to China.
Bethune was a great internationalist fighter. His revolutionary career began when 1935 joined * * *. He traveled to many countries and made great efforts for Spain's anti-fascist struggle. Perhaps for most people in China, Bethune's understanding mainly lies in his contribution to China, so when did Bethune come to China?
Bethune and * * * in film and television works
Bethune was a very authoritative doctor and scholar before becoming a member of * * *. His medical instruments and academic papers have great influence in the medical field, and he has also been hired as a national health consultant. But since joining Canada, he has been actively contributing to the cause of * * * with a pure heart all over the world. 1936 Spanish civil war, Bethune became a volunteer in that winter and went to Spain to fight for the anti-fascist war, which lasted for a whole year before leaving.
In what year did Bethune leave Spain for China? He never stopped. In 37 years, he immediately went to new york and applied to the China Aid Committee to lead a medical team to China to fight the front-line anti-Japanese guerrillas arrested by China. But at the beginning of the following year, that is, 1938, he set up a medical team with a lot of medicines and equipment, saying that he came to Hong Kong by cruise ship and then set foot on the land of Yan 'an.
In 38, Bethune came to China, where he personally received his medical team. In this way, Bethune began his medical work in China, serving as a health consultant, carrying out battlefield treatment, organizing leadership and establishing a health school, which made indelible contributions to the revolution and medical cause in China.
What did Bethune invent?
As a great medical soldier, Bethune not only treated wounded soldiers with his own hands, but also kept improving. He constantly created and improved medical technology and equipment, and many new equipment and technologies appeared in his hands, which has far-reaching significance for future generations to treat more patients and more kinds of cases. So what did Bethune invent?
Bethune in his later years
The first is the artificial pneumothorax device. Bethune was infected with tuberculosis, so he lived in a nursing home in America. For the society at that time, tuberculosis was an incurable disease. Like a prisoner sentenced to death, the only thing he can do is wait for death. Bethune even forced his wife to divorce him after his illness.
At that time, the only therapy used in the sanatorium was to "rest", throw yourself into the embrace of nature, walk, fish and hunt, in an attempt to overcome the disease with your own thoughts and strength, because there was no other way. But as a doctor, Bethune didn't want to face death like this. He looked at medical skills in the library every day and finally found a breakthrough. An article about surgical diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis said that artificial pneumothorax can cure pulmonary tuberculosis. That is, air is injected into the patient's chest to restore the lungs soaked by bacteria and get a real rest. However, there are few successful examples in the United States, and this hospital does not have this technology. So Bethune, under his strong demand and well-founded persuasion, made the hospital agree to do the operation for him and achieved great success.
In the following two years, Bethune continued to study bacteriology and conducted a series of related experiments, and finally invented and improved a series of medical devices. Including artificial pneumothorax device, Bethune rib scissors, Bethune rib stripper, etc. Besides instruments, what did Bethune invent? His mobile blood transfusion station, mobile first aid system for the wounded, etc. , has deeply influenced medical technology so far.
