Plot – In 1969, Hunter Patch Adams is admitted to Fairfax Psychiatric Hospital because of his unstable and unpredictable nature. When he feels he can no longer stay there, he decides to be released under his own responsibility. Two years later he attends the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Soon he is noticed for his outgoing and direct ways. Expelled by the dean of the faculty and readmitted by the president of the university, he launches the idea of creating a completely free 'hospital of joy'. The hospital is born and it immediately receives many patients including Larry, who will kill Carin, a friend of Patch's. Overcome with grief, Patch is about to leave everything, when he recovers his lost confidence. He returns to university and again he gets expelled for his behavior. This time he must face the judgment of the medical committee: he makes a passionate defense of his understanding of the medical profession and the commission acquits him. At last he receives his degree.

Robin Williams - Patch Adams“I wanted to become a doctor so I could serve others. And because of that, I've lost everything. But I've also gained everything.”
Robin Williams - Patch Adams“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride. I love you because I know no other way then this. So close that your hand, on my chest, is my hand. So close, that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep.”
Robin Williams - Patch Adams“Last night with Rudy, I connected to another human being. I want more of that. I want to learn about people, help them with their troubles.”

No matter what they were before, no matter what happened to them, they could just hide away and turn into these beautiful creatures that could fly away completely untouched.”
- Carin“We need to start treating the patient as well as the disease.”
Robin Williams - Patch Adams“Home. The dictionary defines it as both a place of origin and a goal or destination.”
Robin Williams - Patch Adams“If we're going to fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible diseases of all, indifference.”

Philip Seymour Hoffman - Mitch
