Patch Adams: I Came for the Sick (Mark 2:17)

In Patch Adams, Hunter Adams rejects sterile, detached medicine. He clowns in children's cancer wards, learns patients' names, treats people instead of diseases. The medical establishment calls him unprofessional. But his patients heal—sometimes in body, always in spirit. "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Patch goes where the sick are and meets them as they are—frightened, undignified, human. Jesus did the same. The kingdom's medicine isn't dispensed from sterile distance; it's applied by proximity to pain.
