It is of interest to anyone who works in healthcare, as well as anyone who is or will ever be a patient.in other words, everyone. This film provides the opportunity to think about some very important subjects in a light hearted and thoroughly entertaining manner. The viewer will also get to follow Patch on his travels to other countries as he clowns for sick children or teaches courses in 'The Joy of Living.' Through an in-depth interview with Patch you will hear his story.about the journey from suicidal despair in his youth to making the decision to devote his life to the study of what makes people happy.
Patch and his colleagues practiced medicine together that way for 12 years in what he calls their 'pilot project.' They saw 15,000 patients. If you think that all sounds like a utopian impossibility, it isn't. Allopathic doctors and practitioners of alternative medicine will work side by side. Doctors and patients will relate to each other on the basis of mutual trust, and patients will receive plenty of time from their doctors. Healthcare will be provided without cost and doctors will carry no malpractice insurance. That means patient care where laughter, joy and creativity will be an integral part of the healing process. There, amongst beautiful mountains, hardwood forests and waterfalls, Gesundheit advocates are constructing a holistic rural hospital and healthcare community based on the vision of what healthcare should be like. Patch is both a medical doctor and a clown.but he is also a social activist who has devoted 30 years to changing America's healthcare system, a system which he describes as expensive and elitist.Īmerican filmmaker Judith Bourque, longterm resident of Sweden, traveled to West Virginia to Gesundheit Institute, the non-profit foundation that Patch created to make real the building of a dream. Meet Patch Adams, the real person behind the hit movie 'Patch Adams,' starring Robin Williams.
