HEALTH / BIOGRAPHY "Patch Adams's book ought to be required reading
for patients, doctors, and ordinary mortals of all kinds. I have
learned from Patch the courage it takes to be different and to
reveal your wounds: behind his clownlike persona lies a great deal
of wisdom, and it often falls to the court jester to speak the
truth that those in power need to hear." --Bernie Siegel, M.D.,
author of Love, Medicine and Miracles "At last, Patch Adams has put
on paper his vision of patient-centered health care--a vision that
has inspired so many over the years. Patch's "crazy dream" is, in
reality, the root of what good health care should be all about and
too often isn't. Any health care professional who reads Gesundheit!
will come away with a renewed sense of mission and joy about what
they do."--Rick Wade, Sr. Vice President, The American Hospital
Association Meet Patch Adams, M.D., a social revolutionary who has
devoted his life to giving away health care. Doctor, clown, man of
many hats, Adams is the founder of the Gesundheit Institute, a
home-based medical practice in West Virginia that has treated more
than 15,000 people for free. Whether it means putting on a red
clown nose for sick children or taking a disturbed patient outside
to roll down a hill with him, Adams does whatever is necessary to
help heal. In his frequent lectures and performances at medical
schools and international conferences, Adams's irrepressible energy
cuts through the businesslike facade of the medical industry to
address how the need for a caring relationship between doctor and
patient is at the heart of true medicine. This is the story of
Patch Adams's lifetime quest to transform the healthcare system.
Gainingsupporters across the country, the Gesundheit Institute will
soon build a free, full-scale hospital that will be open to anyone
in the world. Ambitious? Yes. Impossible? Not for those who know
Patch. Patch Adams's amazing story seems like the stuff Hollywood
movies are made from--and it is. But for those who loved the movie
Patch Adams and want to know the whole story that inspired it,
Gesundheit! is just what the doctor ordered. A percentage of the
proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to fund Patch
Adams's Gesundheit Institute, a hospital devoted to free health
care.
