Wisdom from Dr Patch Adams

Photo by Mark Blevis

I was very fortunate to be able to attend a lecture given by one the world's most caring doctors. He, who's name made Robin Williams 20 million dollars, he who told us that he could not stand his first year in peds because his view of medicine was so staggeringly different. I am, of course, talking about Dr. Hunter Campbell Adams, more commonly known as Patch Adams.

Although there were many great things in that speech, I wanted to share a couple because of their impact on me personally.
