Disease is a conspiracy of mind and body

Patch Adams

Another heartfelt film by Robin Williams. Some doubt his experience, why did he cast him in several films? Such as "Good Will Hunting" and "Dead Poets Society".

This one is a little lower in comparison.

Maybe it's a true story, the plot is a little thin, and the narrative is not smooth enough. Legends can sometimes feel too far-fetched and unconvincing. The actor's skill is there, but he obviously doesn't care about this film.

What I agree with is thinking about the doctor-patient relationship. Inspired. What is the result? The pursuit of immortality is not the purpose of treatment, it is more important to help patients improve their quality of life. Living quality every day is clearly more valuable than living long.

Illness is the conspiracy of mind and body, not the wishful thinking of the body. Change must start from the heart.

Patch Adams quotes

  • Patch Adams: You want to see me, sir?

    Dean Walcott: You are dismissed.

    Patch Adams: [Salutes] Sir.

    Dean Walcott: From this school. Kindly remove your things and vacate the school premises as soon as possible.

    Patch Adams: What for? For asking a group of doctors to have a sense of humor about themselves?

    Dean Walcott: Oh, I have a sense of humor, Hunter. I find it hilarious as smart as you are, you could give me an airtight reason to throw you the hell out of here!

    [Slams the book on his office desk]

    Patch Adams: Why am I such a threat to you, sir?

    Dean Walcott: Because what you want is for us to get down there on the same levels as our patients, to destroy objectivity, all to uphold some idealistic buddy system that will allow you to work through your own feelings of inadequacy. What you have done here today is inexcusable. You have made a complete mockery out of our distinguished guests. If you think that for 1 minute, that I will further tolerate your blatant disregard of the bylaws of this... .. What are you smiling at? Is this all a big joke to you? Get out of here!

  • Mitch: [as Patch cleans out his locker, Mitch happens upon him] You can't leave.

    Patch Adams: [closing locker] If what you say is true, it looks like I'm defying the laws of possibility.

    Patch Adams: [Patch goes to move past Mitch, but Mitch stands in his way] What're you doing? Oh... I can't leave till you beat me? Is that it? Okay, I surrender. You're number one, you're the top student in the class. You're smarter than me. Is that what you want to hear? Now can I leave?

    Mitch: [puts up his hand and blocks him again] You know Mrs. Kennedy in 212? She doesn't eat. I visited her room every day for the past three weeks. I can't get her to eat.

    Mitch: Now I know everything there is to know about medicine. I've studied relentlessly. I guarantee you I can outdo, outdiagnose any attending or surgeon in this hospital.

    Patch Adams: [nods] Mm-hmm.

    Mitch: But I can't make her eat.

    [near tears]

    Mitch: You have a gift.

    [shakes head]

    Mitch: You have a way with people. You know they like you. And if you leave... I can't learn this way.

    [Patch walks off]
