Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Patch Adams" is based on a true story?

Answer: True

Yes, this real life Doctor and events are said to have actually happened.

2. In the beginning of the movie, Hunter Adams commits himself to a mental institution because of depression. What is one of the things he did to help make him decide to leave?

Answer: He helped his roommate face his fear

That should have been easy. Helping his roommate face his fear and giving Rudy courage to go to the washroom made him very happy. Especially since his roommate was even afraid to leave his bed. However, if you remember, Hunter Adams did not "connect" with everyone so positively. Doctor Prack, Dean Walcott nor his roommate Mitch at the University were very open minded to humour.

3. What was Rudy so afraid of?

Answer: Squirrels

Yep, it was squirrels...Well they were actually bad demons who took the form of vicious squirrels even though no one could see them but him. Good ol "Patch" killed them with an invisible gun and a Bazooka and cleared a wide enough path for Rudy to charge into the washroom. It was quite the scene. LOL

4. What did Hunter Adams leave the mental Institute to become?

Answer: Doctor

"Patch" loved reaching people and making them smile and laugh. Here's a quote from the movie... "I want to become a Doctor and help people!"

5. Who was the first to call Hunter Adams "Patch" in the movie?

Answer: Arthur

Arthur Mendelson says this first in the mental Institution. After Arthur watched Hunter Adams place a (tiny bandaid or a piece of white patterned tape) on his leaky old cup. Hunter Adams: "Why did you just call me Patch?" Arthur: "You fixed my cup." Arthur is also the eccentric who always held up four fingers and asked: "How many do you see"? Then he'd say: "Four? FOUR???"

Answer: Medical College of Virginia

It is said that Hunter Adams went to school there in the late 60's and early 70's.

Answer: Visited patients

He loved making those patients laugh, especially those young kids in the Pediatric area. :)

8. There was one patient who at first hated "Patch". What was his room number?

Answer: 305

This guy didn't only hate "Patch" at first but everyone else too, though "Patch" was the only one who made him smile after a lot of effort. Except his kids and wife of course :)

9. What was the name of the patient in this room?

Answer: Bill Davis

Hunter Adams: "Who's in there?" Nurse Joletta: "That Mr. Davis." (please correct me if I'm wrong about this).

10. What was the song that he liked "Patch" to sing?

Answer: Blue Skies

Blue Skies, smilin' at me. Nothin' but Blue Skies, do I see. Blue birds, singin' this song. Nothin' but blue birds, all day long.

11. Was Hunter Adams caught visiting the patients before he was really allowed to by Dean Walcott?

Answer: Yes

Yep, twice. As a result, Dean Walcott warned him to stay out of the hospital. Dean Walcott claimed: "Under regulation, medical students are to have no contact with patients until the third year."

12. Did "Patch" stay out of the Hospital after that warning by Dean Walcott?

Answer: No

Not a chance, nothing kept the good Doc away from his unauthorized patients and Visits.

13. As far as the movie suggests, who gave Dean Walcott the impression that Hunter Adams was cheating in his classes?

Answer: Mitch

Mitch quotes: "I see how much you study, or should I say, don't study." This is when Hunter confronts Mitch after being warned to stay out of the Hospital. Needless to say, Hunter was not pleased and he was pretty certain that it was not Carin or Truman.

14. "Patch" and his friends threw a surprise birthday party for one of the students. Who was the Student?

Answer: Carin

If you guessed Carin, you're right. The really cute blond whom Patch claimed his love for. He quotes in the movie: "I have a crush on you."

15. What was Carin's last name?

Answer: Fisher

Her first and last name were said twice, maybe three times throughout the entire movie.

16. Hunter Adams decided to risk everything by using a friend's home, with permission of course, as a walk-in clinic. What was this "Institution" named?

Answer: Gesundheit

It's written that "The Gesundheit Institute" was formed after Hunter Adams graduated, but in the movie it had begun to be formed prior to his graduation. With his friends' help of course. :)

17. "Patch" to Carin: "We'll use _______ to heal pain and suffering!"

Answer: Humour

Hunter had gotten Carin to write everything down one night and she was in her pajamas. "Patch" told her. "We'll use humour to heal pain and suffering."

19. Finish this line that Carin said to the killer. "I heard you playing, you sound _______ "
