Ausführlich

Graduating from medical school with a loving heart full of play, Patch Adams began the "Gesundheit!" Institute with a group of twenty friends, including three doctors who moved into a six-bedroom home in West Virginia and opened it as a free hospital. He believes that laughter, joy and creativity are integral parts of the healing process. Doctors and patients in his model relate to each other on the basis of mutual trust, and patients receive plenty of time from their doctors. Allopathic doctors and practitioners of alternative medicine work side by side in Patch's model. If you think that all sounds like a utopian impossibility, it isn't! Patch and his colleagues have practiced medicine at the Gesundheit Institute together in West Virginia that way for 43 years in what Patch refers to as their "pilot project".
