For over 600 days in China, Canadian doctor Norman Bethune braved enemy fire to perform hundreds of surgical operations and treat tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. He established battlefield hospitals, founded medical schools, and devoted his knowledge, skill, and compassion to the Chinese people – ultimately sacrificing his life. On World Humanitarian Day, we remember Bethune – who wielded a scalpel like a soldier's rifle and defended the front lines of life amid war. #VDay #Victory8
