![]() This essay on Patch Adams is from my book called Hollywood Values. ![]() Carin and Patch's friendship soon turns into romance. Patch Adams is a 1998 semi-biographical comedy-drama film starring Robin Williams, Monica Potter, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Bob Gunton. The character of Carin was the most frustrating. He believed it simplified all his work into. Notably the film received a fair bit of criticism from the real Dr.Īdams, among many, over the film's representation of his views and philosophies. Patch argues they need to be more involved with the person and not treat them as another statistic, whilst his superiors point out that getting emotionally involved helps neither doctor nor patient. ![]() The movie centres largely around Adam's clashing with the old guard of medicine over how to treat patients, specifically their cold and detached bedside manner. Also features Philip Seymour Hoffman in a smaller role as Patch's roommate. To do this, he bucks authority, dresses up as a clown, and acts silly and (on occasion) unprofessionally. Very Loosely Based on a True Story movie starring Robin Williams as Hunter. ![]()
