How to get through medical school.

Get some big floppy shoes and put an enema ball (ewww!) on your nose. After all, laughter is the best medicine.

Whatever you do, don't spend all your time studying. That will just turn you into a prick. People do not like doctors who are pricks. They want a doctor who is a clown.

Also, if you are put in charge of entertaining a conference of visiting gynecologists, build a model of some giant legs to greet them, because you know gynecologists never hear enough jokes about their profession?

This movie was just AWFUL....and it figures that I f it Robin Williams was in iy. He was washed up after The World According to Garp. I liked that film and Good Will Hunting....that's it. He is so f'ing proseltyzing in all his unrealistic, stupid movies. Yes, and this movie is allegedly based on a guy named Patch Adams. If his story is half as true as the crap portrayed here, he should have never been accepted into medical school in the first place. Yeah, a red rubber ball on the nose is going to cure cancer.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was the only thing worth watching in this film. May he RIP.

It's no surprise his classmates thought he was cheating.

Did he actually think the Dean was going to give him the names of the classmates?

I know that in college, especially medical school, you need to study a lot. But to be completely fair, some students need to study more than other students.
