摘要
Dr Norman Bethune established one of the first mobile transfusion services during the Spanish CivilWar (see figure, Dr Bethune beside two of his mobile transfusion trucks; reproduced courtesy of the Library and Archives Canada). 1 Established in 1936, his unit the Servicio canadiense de transfusion de sangre took blood donated by civilians in bottles to wounded soldiers near the front lines. At its peak it has been estimated that this team was involved in up to 100 transfusions per day. Dr Bethune subsequently lost his life in 1939 while serving as a surgeon for the communist forces in the second Sino-Japanese war. Dr Bethune is best remembered in China where he is considered a model of international human compassion. The Norman BethuneMedal, established in 1991, considered to be the highest honor in terms of medicine in China, is awarded annually to physicians making outstanding contributions to Chinese health.
