Patch Adams Questions and Answers
Answer: Hunter
Throughout the film, Dean Walcott, Carin and his roommate Mitch
question Patch's application to his studies. To be fair, Patch does spend
an excessive amount of his time in medical school entertaining and
mucking around with patients, especially children. However, he still
manages to be constantly near the top of his class. Maybe he is just that
good?
That should have been easy. Helping his roommate face his fear and
giving Rudy courage to go to the washroom made him very happy.
Especially since his roommate was even afraid to leave his bed.
However, if you remember, Hunter Adams did not "connect" with
everyone so positively. Doctor Prack, Dean Walcott nor his roommate
Mitch at the University were very open minded to humour.

We discover in this film that Mitch thinks very highly of himself and his
ability to do well in medical school. Hence, he is constantly irked by
Patch's ability to achieve better marks despite his appearing to do no
study and his greater age than Mitch. When Mitch informs Patch that he
received the award, Patch dryly replies, "I once drew a picture of a
rabbit that got me two gold stars". Beat that! By the way, Harold. S.
Charlesworth (to my knowledge) doesn't exist.
Yep, it was squirrels...Well they were actually bad demons who took the
form of vicious squirrels even though no one could see them but him.
Good ol "Patch" killed them with an invisible gun and a Bazooka and
cleared a wide enough path for Rudy to charge into the washroom. It
was quite the scene. LOL

"Patch" loved reaching people and making them smile and laugh. Here's
a quote from the movie... "I want to become a Doctor and help people!"
Who was the first to call Hunter Adams "Patch" in the movie?
Answer: Arthur
Arthur Mendelson says this first in the mental Institution. After Arthur
watched Hunter Adams place a (tiny bandaid or a piece of white
patterned tape) on his leaky old cup. Hunter Adams: "Why did you just
call me Patch?" Arthur: "You fixed my cup." Arthur is also the eccentric
who always held up four fingers and asked: "How many do you see"?
Then he'd say: "Four? FOUR???"
Carin receives a messages from Larry Silver, who has been mentally
unstable since his father died. She goes to check on him at his house.
What happens that changes the course of her life?
Answer: Larry murders her
It is mentioned in the film that Larry has been unstable and has been a
repeat-visitor to hospital after several attempts at self mutilation and
suicide. Carin earlier expresses her apprehension and distrust toward
Larry, but Patch tells her to be compassionate. Consequently, Patch
blames himself when Larry murders Carin and then kills himself. This
leads to Patch becoming disillusioned with humanity and leaving his
practice.
It is said that Hunter Adams went to school there in the late 60's and
early 70's.
What is the name of the free hospital that Patch, Carin and Truman
establish together (and it still exists)?
Answer: The Gesundheit Institute
The Gesundheit Institute is located in rural West Virginia and was begun
in 1980. The facilities continue to grow. Patch created this hospital (both
in the movie and in reality) to help relieve the pressure on patients who
could not afford expensive health insurance, or who were waiting too
long for consultation in over-crowded hospitals. Its main aim is to heal
suffering with humour.
There was one patient who at first hated "Patch". What was his room
number?
Answer: 305
This guy didn't only hate "Patch" at first but everyone else too, though
"Patch" was the only one who made him smile after a lot of effort.
Except his kids and wife of course :)
True to both his humorous nature and his disregard for the stale,
conformist attitudes of his superiors, Patch graduates wearing his robe,
his mortarboard and his bare skin underneath.
Blue Skies, smilin' at me. Nothin' but Blue Skies, do I see. Blue birds,
singin' this song. Nothin' but blue birds, all day long.
As far as the movie suggests, who gave Dean Walcott the impression
that Hunter Adams was cheating in his classes?
Answer: Mitch
Mitch quotes: "I see how much you study, or should I say, don't study."
This is when Hunter confronts Mitch after being warned to stay out of
the Hospital. Needless to say, Hunter was not pleased and he was
pretty certain that it was not Carin or Truman.
"Patch" and his friends threw a surprise birthday party for one of the
students. Who was the Student?
Answer: Carin
If you guessed Carin, you're right. The really cute blond whom Patch
claimed his love for. He quotes in the movie: "I have a crush on you."
Her first and last name were said twice, maybe three times throughout
the entire movie.
It's written that "The Gesundheit Institute" was formed after Hunter
Adams graduated, but in the movie it had begun to be formed prior to
his graduation. With his friends' help of course. :)

Sadly, Carin was murdered by a patient who visited the new forming
"Medical Institute." What name did the killer go by?
Answer: Larry
Larry's name was said a number of times. Hunter first saw Larry as he
was being rolled into the hospital. "You'll be fine Larry!" A Doctor
commented as he watched Larry roll by. Then at The Gesundheit
Institute he introduced himself as Larry.
Irma P. Hall played the role of Nurse Joletta, Dot-Marie Jones played the
role of Miss Meat, And Kathleen Stefano played the role of Margery.
