Kimmie & Patch Adams
Hi Everyone!
I had a wonderful two days at The Gesundheit
Institute filming with Patch Adams during his Health Justice Gathering. It
was amazing! Every year he invites medical students from all over
the United States to join at a retreat at his Institute. He asks them to send in
a letter telling him why they feel healthcare needs to have more love in it.
It was so heartwarming and I felt Gods presence in the intent of
every attendee. He had some really neat speakers there. I especially
enjoyed listening to one man who is a Dean Of Student Affairs at Ohio State
University medical college. He spoke to the students about practicing
medicine with compassion. There was another man there who ran the an
organization called The Ithaca Health Alliance. They give free healthcare
on a trade system. Here is the website if you want to check it out http://www.ithacahealth.org/
It was amazing to see medical students who really want to help patients.
Patch's whole them was love and how it heals. From my viewpoint, Patch's in
person self exceeded the movies portrayal of his life. His life is
devoted to caring for sick people. His dream is to have a hospital built
that is dedicated to helping people deal with their pain, in the final moments
of their life. He is also dedicated to the idea of having affordable
healthcare for those in need. I was surprised to learn that although the
movie portraying his life was a financial windfall for Universal Studios; not
a cent of the profit from the movie was donated to help him fund his dream.
He showed a film where he was in Russia with a little girl named Sasha (I believe
she was about 11) who had Cancer and had a short time to live (she died a
week after he visited her). She wouldn't eat or talk and her mother was
really sad. She was weak and just laid in her bed for days. He
dressed up in his clown outfit and spent an hour talking to this little girl.
In that short amount of time she smiled, drank her food and played a little game
with him. Her mother was able to see her little girl smile and respond.
He told her he loved her. He said when he left he thanked the nurse for
allowing him to be touched by the presence of this little girl. He knew
she was going to die. He said that so many doctors look at a "human
being" as a "patient". Things get so clinical that they
forget their names. They just become the disease. I sat through that
film and thought how blessed I was to be able to be a part of a television show
that will help people to recognize their importance in this world. What I
experienced over the last couple of days was by The Grace of God.
I was staying at a Bed and Breakfast and Patch and
his significant other asked me to stay at the retreat house. They gave to
me a room that was on the fourth floor with a mattress on the floor and a window
that sat eye level. When I looked out the window I saw a small
running stream leading to a waterfall in the mountains. I listened and
heard God speak to me. There is so much more to life and we need to live
it and for those who "forget" to live it there are others that God has
chosen to remind them of what he gave them.
I would like to ask everyone to consider donating to
Patch's vision of a hospital built to help our fellow brothers and sisters.

Torch TV excerpt from The Toledo City Paper, written by Rieale Loveridge, January 3rd 2007 toledocitypaper.com
Dr.
Hunter "Patch" Adams will soon be burning up television screens with
Toledo radio personality/intuitive Kimberly Zapf and fellow seeker of the stars
Lisa Clapier in "The Torch TV Show," premiering Sunday, January 28 at 9
a.m. on WTO5.
Sharing
passion, purpose and zest for life, this trio of positive personas will present
emotionally stirring stories and offer guidance via the program. "The show
is all about experiences, letting people honor themselves," said Zapf.
"People need to see that what’s real is what’s inside."
Yet,
there was a point in early 2006 that the stress almost proved to be too much for
her. Through self-reflection, asking God’s help and reaching out to her
friends, the idea and opportunity for "The Torch TV Show" surfaced.
She connected with her friend of four years Lisa Clapier from Boise, Idaho.
"It just all came together," said Zapf. "We (Lisa and I) talked
about healing and eventually started talking about a TV show. Lisa saw Patch
speak and asked him to get involved."
"Patch
is even more intense than in the movie," said Zapf. "All of his money
goes into the Gesundheit (Institute). His bed is on the floor. He lives by
simple means." Adams’ life served as the template and name for the 1998
Robin Williams flick that endeared a nation to humanitarian clowning around and
affordable healthcare. In early January, Zapf and Clapier visited Adams at
the West Virginia-based Gesundheit Insti-tute, which strives for affordable
health-care and a positive, humor-filled atmosphere.
Adams
and Clapier have visited Northwest Ohio to film 11 episodes of "The Torch
TV Show" in a building converted into a production paradise Zapf’s
backyard. Fifteen more will be filmed after the West Virginia visit, and will
run every weekly.
Zapf’s
segments rely on her sweet and sassy practicality to share techniques on how
viewers can tap into their inner voices to choose the wisest paths. "In my
segment called Innerviews, I focus on teaching people techniques like
breathing," said Zapf. "Breathing is important to help put the focus
back on themselves."
Clapier
and Adams each have segments as well. Clapier chats with regular Joes and famous
folks dubbed "torchbearers" who have inspirational stories, and Adams
gives his final thoughts to tie the show together in true Andy Rooney style.
"They are both into reaching out," said Zapf. "Patch is very much
into the emotional healing … Lisa has been taught about forgiveness."
"The Torch TV Show" airs every Sunday at 9 a.m. on WTO5 beginning January 28
