It is heartening to see and hear an identity such as this man continue to provide hope and be a source of happiness to so many. I am inspired by his thoughts and deeds which are totally in integrity.
Patch Adams is the medical Doctor who says laughter is the best medicine and among other alternatives offers clowning to help heal. He established a free medical centre in West Virginia and asks this great question "how different would our world be if we were ruled by love and compassion rather then power and money?" The World Health Organisation says Depression is currently world health burden number four. By 2020 they say it will be number 2.
