So very beautiful work that can turn a frown upside down, even if just a short minutes. We can all learn a lesson here. What really matters? God bless you all.
He humbles me, and I feel a bit ashamed for complaining about my little problems. My we all have bit of the compasion, love and heart this man and this people have.
it never stops amazes me that we live in potential paradise but we can not live with one another in peace. isn t that funny and sad in a way. we all know what we need to do in theory but it is imposible to do it.
Everyone with a heart and a soul would dream for something like this. To help the children who need moral support. For those who need a guidens, a parent, a family!
@drplbiftin You posted a comment on an open forum, if you don't want others to question the thoughts in your head then don't make them public for others to respond accordingly.
And this comment of "gay bellend". Grow up little boy, you've too much time on your hands and need a good smack around the head.
When I saw them laughing and smiling, I smiled, but I was still crying! Thank GOD that someone really cares. Thank God for Patch Adams and everyone that has ever worked with him. All of them (you) are wonderful people.
I Have been punished in the beginning of my career for not wanting to follow the hypocritical rules of this MNC i had worked with, im sure the journey must have been painful for Dr. Patch. I Respect his persistence and courage.

Wow. There's the politicians and economists setting the world on fire... And then there's people like this... trying against all odds to bring what little hope they can. Beautiful.
I love you! thank you for opening the eyes of some, while most are still blind, It only takes one small gesture to make Large Changes(EXAMPLE: "DOMINOES").....
Gee, what did Hunter "Patch" Adams start anyway? A gift of love and laughter to all.
He, and his fellow mirthmakers, judge not your color or your creed or your beliefs but judge, instead, the child in each and everyone of us (at heart). Patch, continue your work and continue to make life a better place for all of us. Maybe it will be you that, maybe in a small way, brings peace.
we can all make a difference in world but some decided to ruin this world , and the worst some people make it the greater is the impact when people like DR Patch come into picture .for this video clip i would give seven Oscars and the the price for the world peace Nobel price for peace
Film is both audio AND video. The song is beautiful but dubbed over. Where was the audio with the ambient sound, the giggles and cries of the children, the violin, and the real-time dialogue?
I'm a big admirer of Dr. Adams - which is why I dislike saying this: Is it just me, or do most of the children in this clip seem NOT to light up because of the clowns? I have a feeling maybe clowning for a child so early in his/her trauma (the one having fabric - or is it burnt skin? - peeled off her body) may not be the best idea. I think the idea of clowning for patients is WONDERFUL, but it's just... this video gives me a feeling that maybe it isn't good in every single case. May even be bad.
@malovela I see what you are saying. But in truth very young children worldwide have a distrust of clowns (I dated a clown for a time and he told me that this distrust was common). I think that when doing this type of work one must take the culture into account. I think using puppets would have worked better. In 2007 a puppet workshop was held in the region and it worked well. Plus there is a long theatre and comedy tradition that they could have used. Just a thought.

Thanks for being a patch to all the sufferings of all the patients you have helped and the people around them.. Not only you uplifted their spirits, but also you perform different miracles that would really brightened one's gloomy day... I'm so inspired to also be the light to others through my own way.. Thanks Dr. Hunter Adams and to your team...
wow that was amazing im so very moved by patch and his lifes work, he is proof that with joy you can do anything, such a trying situation but i guess he took that advice to heart if the quote from the movie is true focus on the solution not the problem.
I have such respect and admiration for those who can work with burn patients, especially children. I'm not sure I could do it. You know you are helping them, but to help them you have to cause such pain. It must take tremendous courage and compassion to do that sort of work. As for Patch Adams - WOW! And there's medical evidence that laughter helps the healing process. I am now going to watch the rest of the videos about Patch and his work.

desde chile digo como la guerra y el terrorismo a la sdesiciones de pocos pueden dañar a personas tan inocentes como los niños y estos estupidos no se dan ni cuenta gracias a dios existe los clown de hospitales para alegrarle aunke sea por un ratito la vida y el alama a las mamas papas y hermanos y niños qe estan sufriendo
WOW, as expected the movie can't hold a candle to this, The girl at the beginning with full-thickness burns and how they helped her get through surgery....they're all saints descendant from God himself in my eyes.
So very powerful... I cry on the inside for the suffering that happens everyday. In my eyes, Patch is a saint. He loves everyone and develops friendships to cause joy in the hearts of the ones that truly need it. This is what the world truly needs. I, just like him, wish to bring not only help to the people, but also, the greatest gift of all: Happiness. Joy. There's nothing more beautiful than a smile.
phew ... that is intense .. incredible footage ... thanks for putting such moving and inspiring content online. As Mother Theresa said: invite me to a peace rally anytime.
Patch brings so much inspiration and kindness to people; to children, to adults, whoever he meets. He has a great gift to reach out. I met him at the Findhorn Community years ago, and I was deeply touched by his caring and his courage,
i had the privilege to make one of these clowning tours in a hospital and a garbage where people was looking for food on the garbage and ive learned too mouch from patch and his team i invite you to travel with patch in the alternative spring breake
I can't choose words that can cover the compassion and humanity of a simple but SO highly effictive way to help others than what is shown here.
The sad thing I think is we all posses what is shown here but we are all hiding in our busy schedules:(
I am sad too say no exception to this but these films make you stop, if only for a moment, and reflect your own life and I'm thankfull too you for making me realise that I'm doing far too little to help people.
Patch is such an incredible man. He has done wonders for so many people. He is truly one of those people that will have a lasting impact on our world.
AWSOME VIDEO!!!!!! I am about to go to medical school..... I WOULD SERIOUSLY like to work next to Patch Adams.....where can I get info of where is his Hospital?????
You are so right my friend! In the left side of my channel page (uncommonsense09) I have contact info to Patch and his hospital. Just an FYI- I have more Patch videos on my channel with more to come- If you'd like to learn more about him and his work I would recommend subscribing. God Bless, Todd
A truly moving film, i was in tears. A truly wonderful man and the world needs more like him. God bless your work Patch, you make the world a better place a little bit at a time.
thank you for this clip, i think everybody should see this great work. Do you think it is possible to ask cinemas to send this little film before the main film with asking the audience for a gift for this move?
Pfft... thank you so much for posting this clip. It's hard to believe that it is so easy to give some comfort and relief in a world that seems to be so far away from that.
Patch Adams is truly a blessing for all those little kids. It is amazing how a bit of effort can change those painful moments. So much patience and understanding coming from strangers to other strangers out of compassion. They are great examples of what a human being should be.
Blessings to the little ones that allowed us to see and feel. Mother needed as much relief as her child . . .her tears show her pain ; her smile shows she's past though it that time. . . . Simple bubbles, simple make-up, simple people, releasing powerful medicine. . . Share yourself in smiles, they are powerful as you've just witnessed. . .
This was very moving piece, which spoke loudly. I heard in the silence of the voices:
Giving: Touching, smiles, creating laughter, from your "being-space"- caring and reaching out to share your energy; flip a switch.
Reaction: Distraction from pain, smiling, How? - our human pharmacy releasing our human drugs to ease pain. No pain, healing begins, no stress, of pain, -healing continues.
So very beautiful work that can turn a frown upside down, even if just a short minutes. We can all learn a lesson here. What really matters? God bless you all.
