A Reflection Paper on Scientist Patch Adams
Patch Adams is a hero of sciettnce and a noble being of the field of medicine. Hero is a person who is something more than a typical dictionary defines. A hero is not just anyone. He is special. And I consider Patch Adams as one of them.
Born into a strict military-like family and hurdling over many obstacles, Patch managed to complete his medical degree. He was even admitted to a mental hospital for some time in his lifetime. The patients in the hospital changed him, especially one of them. One of the patients, who were suffering from loneliness, made Adams realize that he was loved and he was not lonely; he had friends. Also in the hospital, he realized his passion; he became self-aware of himself that he meant for something more than just living his life, something bigger like healing people with laughter.
For this, he enrolled himself in a medical school and graduated from it. Patch went on to start making his one dream into a reality.
Later in the asylum, through the help of one of the patients, he came to realize his presence and the meaning of his life.
He became self-aware of his goals, ambitions and passions in his life. His friend in the mental asylum made him aware of his passion of treating people with laughter and healing them of their sickness. So, finally he set his foot forth toward his ambition in life and is still devoted to the same and working for the welfare of the poor patients in the USA. Ourselves as a medical student, this movie came to be a self-awaking phenomenon to me. I was taking medical study very seriously, more like in a straightforward way that is I have to become a physician and treat people and their illnesses with medications. I never thought of increasing the quality of life of patients.
And moreover, I never even dreamt that laughter and happiness could be a therapy for the illness, which would benefit equally as a medicine would do. After seeing this movie and reflecting into the life of Patch Adams, I came to realize the true essence of being a physician and the true meaning of healing people. His life made me self-aware of my goals and ambitions in my life. Now, I don’t have to just treat the patients and their disease but I do have to treat their pain and suffering, consequently increasing their quality of life. Myself, as a physician, I would like to follow the footsteps of Dr. Adams along with the usual routine of a medicine practice and be known in the society not merely as a physician but also as a social mobilizer, motivator and the true healer.
