    This is the true story of Patch Adams, a former mental health patient who decided to get his own M.D., and in the process, developed a new approach to medicine that went contrary to conventional procedures, but was successful and loved by patients nonetheless. Patch Adams' approach to medicine is to approach his 'patients' as people, and talk to them with humor and humanity.
