Some people find their vocation early in life; others do not discover their life's work until
they are older. Norman Bethune tried many things before he fully realized his true work.
Bethune was born in Gravenhurst, Ontario in 1890. He was the son of a Presbyterian
clergyman. The family moved frequently, and many of the places they lived were close to
lakes, rivers and woods.
As a young man, Norman loved the outdoors. He became a good swimmer and skater. He
also showed that he had a strong independent streak. He hated rules, but also had a
strong sense of justice.
The young man studied science at the University of Toronto from 19091911. After that,
he worked for Frontier College. This was a volunteer organization where instructors did
the same jobs as the local workers during the day, and taught them English in the
evening. He then returned to Toronto to study medicine.
Early in World War I, he joined the Army Medical Corps. He reached France in February
1915, but was wounded in April and eventually returned to Canada. He went back to the
war in 1917. At the end of the war, he continued to study medicine in London, England.
While he was in England, he married a Scottish woman, Frances Campbell Penney.
Although Bethune loved her very much, their marriage ended in divorce in 1927. The
couple moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1924 where Bethune opened a medical practice. In
the middle of his growing success, he contracted tuberculosis. This was a low point in
Bethune's life. Thinking that he was going to die, he considered suicide. One day,
however, he read of a new treatment for tuberculosis and insisted that his doctors
perform the operation on him. As a result, Bethune recovered. The year was 1927.
For some years after, Bethune devoted himself to the treatment of tuberculosis patients.
However, he began to notice a pattern. Rich patients who could afford proper medical
care usually recovered. Poor patients usually died. Bethune became a supporter of
governmentfunded medicinal care.
Bethune admired the governmentfunded health system in communist Russia. He was
angry when Canada would not support his idea about Medicare. Bethune wanted to
change the world, and communism seemed like the most promising method.
In 1936, Bethune went to Spain to help the Republicans fight the Fascists. He was
appalled to see the Fascists' allies, Germany and Italy, dropping bombs on women and
children. He developed a hated for Fascism. He also decided that doctors should go to
the front, rather than wait for the wounded to be brought to them. In Spain, he developed
a blood transfusion service, which saved many lives.
Returning to North America, Bethune heard about the Japanese attack on China in 1937.
Early in 1938, he sailed for China. Bethune had joined the Communist Party. Now he went
to join the army of Mao Tsesung in Northern China. Mao's army was suffering badly from
Japanese attacks. They had hardly any doctors or medical supplies.
Difficulties only made Bethune work harder. He soon organized a hospital, trained
medical workers, and wrote textbooks. He insisted on operating right at the front to give
the wounded a better chance of survival. He went for days without sleep and gave his
own blood to help the wounded. In November 1939, he died from blood poisoning. But
his work lived on.
In 1973, the Canadian government bought his house that he was born in and turned it
into a museum.
