Humans of UCSF: Dr. Funnybone

Columnist
School of Dentistry

“I've never made a penny being a doctor, so that makes it not a job. My sense of a doctor is that one is a presence caring for health. So I'm never not a doctor. People call me from all over the world who are hurting, and I care for them. Chatting is what more people want than anything.”

Dr. Hunter Doherty "Patch" Adams

American physician, comedian, social activist, clown, author, founder the Gesundheit! Institute
