Doctor Patch Adams Japan Lecture Tour: Tokyo Presentation September 2002

A personal viewpoint on American health care was provided in an interesting and thought provoking presentation given by Dr 'Patch' Adams. He spoke with conviction on his and his colleagues efforts over the last 30 years to create a community hospital which will provide free health care to all patients who come for help and treatment, which neither needs to accept any treatment restrictions and limits to the quality of health care imposed on doctors health insurance providers, and also by virtue of not charging for their services which does pay expensive malpractice insurance premiums. Dr Adams and a dedicated team of health care professionals who share his vision of good community based health care have worked for 30 years towards this goal. During that time Dr Adams has brought compassionate health care to many thousands of people. His view that care and treatment should be provided as a service within the community rather than being based on"greed and power" received a very warm reception from the 2000 people listening to him speak in Tokyo.
