Patch Adams Revisited
My cousin went with the Patch Adams posse on a recent "Humanitarian Clown Trip" to Venezuela.
Turns out that Patch is not a big fan of the movie that bears his name. Not only does he NOT wear a white coat ("It's not colorful enough"), but the Hollywood Happy Ending where Patch opens his own clinic was a fabrication. The truth is, Patch Adams and the Gesundheit! Institute needs your support in order to build a 40-bed rural community hospital in West Virginia. Please give generously.
Did I mention that I was an extra in Patch Adams? If you have the DVD (who doesn't??) you can make out a blurry blotch in the background in the library scene. I met that blotch.
