Once, Bethune saw a little nurse dressing the wounded in the ward and found that the medicine in the medicine bottle was not the same as the label name on the medicine bottle, that is to say, the medicine in the medicine bottle was not the right medicine. How is that possible? If you use it wrong, something will happen.

Bethune severely criticized the little nurse and told her that doing things so carelessly would kill her. Bethune scraped the label off the bottle with a knife and said, "We are responsible for our comrades. It won't happen again."

The little nurse was criticized, her face flushed and tears were coming out. Bethune was very angry, but he controlled his emotions and said, "Please forgive my bad temper, but I can't help doing sanitary work seriously and strictly!" "

Afterwards, Bethune suggested to the political commissar that only by strengthening education and improving the sense of responsibility of the staff can the work be done well. Bethune not only treated the wounded with superb medical skills, but also took the initiative to establish a model hospital, personally compiled teaching materials, personally made medical equipment, personally taught doctors of the Eighth Route Army, and trained a large number of medical personnel for the Eighth Route Army. This also shows that he is extremely responsible for his work and tries his best to improve it.
