[00:00.00]In 1935, he journeyed

[00:04.04]to the Soviet Union to attend

[00:06.24]the International Physiological Congress.

[00:10.17]The Communist Parties of Canada

[00:12.69]and the United States

[00:14.11]had made arrangements for

[00:15.75]him to go. By this time,

[00:18.49]Bethune had become

[00:20.57]a member of the Communist Party

[00:22.32]of Canada. Returning to Canada,

[00:25.49]he was convinced, more than ever,

[00:28.34]that democratic societies needed to

[00:31.07]develop publicly financed health care

[00:34.90]for all of their citizens.

[00:37.63]Bethune had earlier set up

[00:40.24]a free medical clinic in Montreal.

[00:42.98]His conscience dictated that

[00:46.04]he should work for this goal.

[00:48.45]The Struggle of the Spanish Republic

[00:52.61]against Fascist aggression took him

[00:56.33]to Spain for a medical

[00:57.86]adventure and challenge.

[00:59.50]In Madrid, he pioneered a mobile

[01:02.67]blood transfusion unit in the field.

[01:06.06]He collected blood, which was

[01:09.35]then transported to where

[01:11.10]it was needed for the wounded

[01:12.63]along the 600 mile battlefront.

[01:15.15]These efforts were reported

[01:17.99]to have reduced deaths

[01:19.74]from war by up to 75%.

[01:22.04]Thousands of people owed

[01:26.19]their lives to Dr. Bethune.

[01:28.50]His bedside manner became legendary,

[01:31.34]and it was another

[01:33.19]measure of this man.

[01:34.95]He returned to Canada

[01:37.90]to go on a speaking tour

[01:39.87]to raise money for humanitarian efforts

[01:42.06]among the Spanish people.

[01:45.01]During this circuit of

[01:46.87]speaking engagements, Bethune elaborated

[01:50.16]eloquently on the desperate needs

[01:52.56]of these people. His ability

[01:55.19]to communicate effectively made

[01:57.38]this tour a success.

[01:59.89]His undisputed talents were

[02:03.07]attracting widespread attention.

[02:06.02]Dr.Bethune became the ultimate

[02:08.43]international volunteer to help

[02:11.05]less fortunate people whatever he could.
