杰瑞发布于2023-11-21

亚当（罗宾•威廉斯 饰）想成为一名医生是在他的精神疾病痊愈之后，后来他进入了维吉尼亚医学院学习。可是院内的传统观念的限制使医生们开来都十分不近人情。他不屑于这种状态，于是他把欢笑看做是医治病人的一个重要处方。他总是穿着鲜艳的衣服，带着滑稽的装扮到学院去，为的就是能让每一位病人都开怀大笑。 　　校方对亚当的行为十分不满，但他还是冒着被勒令退学的危险坚持着自己那套理念。亚当需要克服的东西众多，从医路上又将有不同的挑战与不同的人与事在等着他，亚当仍不懈的为着梦想前行。 Patch Adams is determined to become a medical doctor because he enjoys helping people. Unfortunately, the medical and scientific community does not appreciate his methods of healing the sick, while the actual patients, medical professors, and hospital nurses all appreciate the work *he* can do, because they are unable to do it.

That makes them doctors.
I use that term broadly, but is not a doctor someone who helps someone else ?
When did the term "doctor" get treated with such reverence, as, "Right this way, Doctor Smith"... or, "Excuse me, Dr. Scholl, what wonderful footpads"... or, "Pardon me, Dr. Patterson, but your flatulence has no odor" ?
[ Laughing, Murmuring ] At what point in history did a doctor become more... than a trusted and learned friend who visited and treated the ill ?
Now, you ask me if I've been practicing medicine.
Well, if this means opening your door to those in need-- those in pain-- caring for them, listening to them, applying a cold cloth until a fever breaks-- if this is practicing medicine, if this is treating a patient... then I am guilty as charged, sir.
Did you consider the ramifications of your actions ?
What if one of your patients had died ?
What's wrong with death, sir ?
What are we so mortally afraid of ?
Why can't we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity and decency... and, God forbid, maybe even humor ?
Death is not the enemy, gentlemen.
If we're gonna fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible diseases of all-- indifference.
Now, I've sat in your schools and heard people lecture on transference... and professional distance.
Transference is inevitable, sir.
Every human being has an impact on another.
Why don't we want that in a patient/doctor relationship ?
That's why I've listened to your teachings, and I believe they're wrong.
A doctor's mission should be not just to prevent death... but also to improve the quality of life.
That's why you treat a disease, you win, you lose.
You treat a person, I guarantee you, you win, no matter what the outcome.
Now here today, this room is full of medical students.
Don't let them anesthetize you.
Don't let them numb you out to the miracle of life.
Always live in awe of the glorious mechanism of the human body.
