Patch Adams
Hunter Doherty "Patch" Adams (born May 28, 1945) is an American physician, comedian, social activist, clown, and author. He founded the Gesundheit! Institute in 1971. Each year he organizes a group of volunteers from around the world to travel to various countries where they dress as clowns in an effort to bring humor to orphans, patients, and other people.
Adams is currently based in Urbana, Illinois. In collaboration with the institute, he promotes an alternative health care model not funded by insurance policies.〔 As of April 2015, he serves on the Green Shadow Cabinet of the United States as "Assistant Secretary of Health for Holistic Health".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Green Shadow Cabinet Members )〕
==Early life==
Adams was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Anna Campbell Stewart (née Hunter) and Robert Loughridge Adams.〔http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/g/r/a/Kenneth-A-Graybeal-Bellevue/GENE4-0035.html〕〔()〕 His father, an officer in the United States Army, had fought in Korea, and died while stationed in Germany when Adams was a teenager.〔 After his father's death, Adams returned to the United States with his mother and brother. Adams has stated that upon his return he encountered institutional injustice which made him a target for bullies at school. As a result, Adams was unhappy and became actively suicidal. After being hospitalized three times in one year for wanting to end his life, he decided "you don't kill yourself, stupid; you make revolution."〔Interview with Patch Adams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgKvGNsDZv4〕
