Summary

It's here at last, the one you've all been waiting for! 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. __________________________Why can't you been the one I'm running from?___________________________Here are some interesting things for you to read about:Read about Gesundheit todayhttps://www.patchadams.org/Clown DoctoringHistory and Evidence:https://adc.bmj.com/content/103/Suppl_1/A180.2Clowning in a children's rehab:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23855014/The effects on nurses:https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17533015.2011.561359TedX:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDs7Gz6_lVUClown Doctoring in Action (first ever PhD in Clown Care):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM6e-QIpalcPatch Adams IRLPatch on his favourite letter:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ2qx32zD-ITedX:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Maw4Xg-6RAwPatch on the Pandemic:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUQF4Jm9m9QPatch on Suicide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D7ujdkwFjU&t=126s Hosted on Acast.
