1928年6月蘭大衛醫師移植其夫人連瑪玉的皮膚予13歲男童周金耀,挽救其生命。1956年時任院長之杜聰明教授,特邀畫家李石樵以此為畫「割膚之愛」,期許高醫人不忘行醫濟世之初心。
In June 1928, Dr. David Landsborough IV grafted his wife Marjorie Landsborough’s skin (who volunteered to donate the skin from her thigh) unto a 13-year-old boy Chou Chin-yao to save his life. In 1956, Dr. Tu Tsung-ming, the former Kaohsiung Medical College superintendent, invited the artist Shih-chiao Lee to create the painting “A Skin Graft with Love”. Dr. Tu expected that this painting could serve as a reminder for the personnel of Kaohsiung Medical University of the very beginning mind: practice medicine to save people.
