Shadyac's
(ACE
VENTURA)
film
tells
the
true
story
of
Hunter
"Patch"
Adams
(Robin
Williams),
an
aspiring
doctor
in
the
1970's
who
attempted
to
treat
his
patients
with
a
medicine
that
modern
science
had
totally
disregarded:
humor.
After
a
stint
in a
mental
hospital
where
he
discovers
his
need
to
help
others,
a
young
Patch
enters
medical
school.
There
he
develops
his
own
methods
of
reaching
patients
as
an
antidote
to
the
the
pomposity
he
witnesses
in
his
instructors
and
fellow
students.
While
his
patients
and
fellow
staff
members
appreciate
his
approach,
the
powers-that-be
frown
upon
his
"unschooled"
methods
and
attempt
to
prevent
him
from
practicing.
