Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The inspiring and hilarious journey of Patch Adams reveals his commitment to transforming health care and the practice of medicine. As a social revolutionary, Adams founded the Gesundheit Institute, a home-based medical practice that has provided free care to over 15,000 people. He is currently working on a full-scale hospital that will offer free services to anyone in need. His ambitious vision challenges the notion of impossibility, as he employs unconventional methods—such as wearing a red clown nose for sick children or rolling down a hill with a troubled patient—to foster healing. In his lectures at medical schools and conferences, Adams's vibrant energy breaks through the impersonal nature of the medical industry, emphasizing the vital doctor-patient relationship at the core of genuine care. All author royalties support the Gesundheit Institute, a 40-bed free hospital in West Virginia. Adams advocates for a future where health care is accessible, affordable, and compassionate, countering the costly and grim reality of modern medicine. Through his talks to various audiences, he illustrates how healing can be a loving, creative, and humorous exchange rather than a mere business transaction.
