Hunter Patch Adams
When he was a teenager , Hunter Adams was very unhappy, and he spent many years in the 1960s and 1970s in a special hospital for people with mental health problems. When he left hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to medical school in Virginia, USA. But when he was there , he did things in a different way. For example , he didn't like the doctors white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients , and he tried to make them laugh.The doctors at the medical school didn't like Adams very much because he was too different.
