heart and soul

"The mission of a doctor is not only to delay the death of life, but also to improve the quality of life of the patient. This is why there are winners and losers in treating a disease, and when treating a patient, one will definitely win." "Learning is the highest state, and love is the ultimate goal." Love and care entered the patient's heart, breaking through the obstacles in the background of the times and breaking the traditional medical concept that he was disgusted with. Unlike most doctors at that time, he did not think that he was higher than the patient and only regarded the patient as the carrier of the disease. Pay attention to humanistic care. I was moved to tears during the court session. As a medical student, he can be said to be a good role model for me.

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!
