Very ordinary, very ordinary movie, not very famous, but really touching. It's a real story, the narrative is very bland, and it even makes me feel a little mediocre, but I was moved by this cliché story and smiled, moved, and cried with the film.
The protagonist is Robin Williams (Robin Williams), "Dead Poets Society", he is a different teacher, here, he is a maverick doctor. Doctor and teacher, two ordinary and great professions, are vividly reflected in his interpretation.
In today's society, in the face of the increasing problems of doctors and patients, who has ever thought of the original intention of the sacred profession of doctors? A doctor should not be a doctor who has the power to control the patient's life and death, as the dean said, but a friend who can give the patient hope and joy; the patient's trust in the doctor should not be because the doctor has the right to control his life and death. , this trust should be pure and heartfelt trust.
Laughter is the best medicine in life. Those who have seen this film, recall the clip of Adams greeting the OB/GYN, think about the door; think about the group of children, the red nose, and smile again.

Patch Adams quotes

  • Dean Walcott: Mr. Adams, when I told you I knew Dr. Prack, did I mislead you in some way to think I'm a pushover like he is? Kindly remove that coat. I told you, you are not to see the patients until the 3rd year.

    Patch Adams: I'm just visiting friends, sir.

    Dean Walcott: Why are you here? If you want to be a clown, go join the circus. Patients don't need to be entertained. They don't need a friend. They need a doctor! I don't want to see you in this hospital again.

    Patch Adams: What if I visit the patients on my own time?

    Dean Walcott: Yes, about your own time. It's brought to our attention that perhaps we should be suspicious of the level of your grades.

    Patch Adams: What are you saying? I'm cheating?

    Dean Walcott: Your scores are among the top in your class, yet you don't seem to study.

    Patch Adams: [Sarcastically laughing] That's ridiculous.

    Dean Walcott: Your classmates don't seem to think so.

    Patch Adams: Really? Who?

    Dean Walcott: I'm warning you. Stay out of this hospital.

  • 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!
