Patch Adams life was not an easy one. He grew with a strict father. Nonetheless he had a loving mother. They frequently move such that he learned to deal with different types of people and does not know nor practice racism. It was after the break up of his relationship with a girl named Donna that made Patch Adams think about suicide. So, he checked himself in a mental institution. He understand and developed passion for the patients inside the mental institution. This was also the place where he got the nickname "Patch." This was also the same place where he started dreaming about becoming a doctor.
