Patch Adams

<p>It's here at last, the one you've all been waiting for! </p><p>Yes, Patch Adams was a Robin Williams (MHDSRIP) vehicle, but did you know the real Patch Adams is still fighting the good fight? The fight is good, but the movie isn't. Still - Clown Doctoring (no laughing matter)! Medical Insurance! This movie gave us a lot to talk about. There's science babble and no shortage of rayon cargo pants. Abi's counsellor falls asleep on her, Freda rages on those who make a joke of gynaecology and, somewhere, there's a millionaire playing Fur Elise. </p><p>__________________________</p><br><p><em>Why can't you been the one I'm running from?</em></p><p>___________________________</p><p>Here are some interesting things for you to read about:</p><br><p><u>Read about Gesundheit today</u></p><p><a href="https://www.patchadams.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patchadams.org/</a></p><br><p><u>Clown Doctoring</u></p><p>History and Evidence:</p><p><a href="https://adc.bmj.com/content/103/Suppl_1/A180.2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://adc.bmj.com/content/103/Suppl_1/A180.2</a></p><p>Clowning in a children's rehab:</p><p><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23855014/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23855014/</a></p><p>The effects on nurses:</p><p><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17533015.2011.561359" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17533015.2011.561359</a></p><p>TedX:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDs7Gz6_lVU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDs7Gz6_lVU</a></p><p>Clown Doctoring in Action (first ever PhD in Clown Care):</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM6e-QIpalc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM6e-QIpalc</a></p><br><p><u>Patch Adams IRL</u></p><p>Patch on his favourite letter:</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ2qx32zD-I</p><p>TedX:</p><p>https:/
