PATCH ADAMS
In this essay I want to comment on the movie Patch Adams about the
wonderful profession in charge of health, first of all, to give my opinion about
the whole movie, which I found very accurate according to reality, because this way
as in the plot, even to this day we find doctors and nurses
apathetic, few sensitive to the pain of others, meanness, indifference and above all coldness.
That's why I am fascinated by the protagonist's way of being, because with just a
a little charisma, simplicity, humility, charity, generosity, and a lot of faith I was able to achieve
much more than what the supposed "doctors" were trying to do, this movie leaves me
a lot because even today medicine is still seen as something of
a lot of technical or professional responsibility however one leaves behind the
emotional responsibility, which I consider should be the most important since
this way one learns to be more empathetic, generalizing any area of the
health.
I also want to comment on the relationship between Nurse-Patient, which I...
it seemed just like reality as unfortunately indifference continues to be practiced
and the coldness, however, there was also a very important point for example in the
moment when nurses dealing with the most difficult patient perhaps do not
disease, if not of character or humor, it seemed to me that despite everything we must have
more empathy and understanding of others' pain, I understand that there are ways to speak to the
people or nursing staff in this case however we must find the
way of understanding the patient and the pain they suffer as well as finding ways to always
make him feel good.
On the other hand, the Doctor-Patient relationship seen in the movie was similarly.
for both directions as a doctor was shown without empathy, stingy that
it demonstrated that only knowledge is the most important when attending to the patient without
the protagonist doctor in this case is also Patch Adams who with such
only faith, empathy, and simplicity conquered the patients in such a way that it made their
life in illness was more bearable even while on the brink of death and moreover
something beautiful that I thought it achieved was making him feel very good even before the
death which if we reflect on it does not happen even in our own life or even
family (depending on the case of course).
So I conclude that Patch Adams definitely deserves the title of doctor.
who was the only one to prove to be a real doctor in front of the patient and also that
I consider nursing to be a contributor and equal partner to medicine, without neglecting the
no moment below the nursing of medicine.
