This reminds Patch of Carin and revives his spirits, and he decides to continue his work in her honor. The butterfly lands on his medical bag and on his shirt before flying away. He then sees a butterfly which reminds him of Carin's telling him earlier how she always wished she was a caterpillar that could someday transform itself and fly away.

Standing on a cliff, he contemplates suicide once again and questions God about what happened. Patch is devastated and guilt-ridden by Carin's death, and begins to question the goodness in humanity.


However, Larry murders Carin then kills himself. Encouraged, Carin wants to help a disturbed patient, Lawrence 'Larry' Silver (Douglas Roberts). When she tells him that she had been molested as a child, Patch comforts her and reassures her that she can overcome her pain to help others. Carin and Patch's friendship soon turns into romance. When they get the clinic running, they treat patients without medical insurance and perform comedy sketches for them. With the help of Arthur Mendelson (Harold Gould), a wealthy man who was a patient whom Patch met while in the mental hospital, he purchases 105 acres (425,000 m²) in West Virginia to construct the future Gesundheit! Together with Carin, medical student Truman Schiff (Daniel London), and some old friends, he renovates an old cottage into a clinic. Adams begins a friendship with fellow student Carin Fisher (Monica Potter), and develops his idea for a medical clinic built around his philosophy of treating patients using humor and compassion. Adams encourages medical students to work closely with nurses, learn interviewing skills early, and argues that death should be treated with dignity and sometimes even humor. Because of this and incidents such as setting up a giant pair of legs during an obstetric conference, he is expelled from the medical school, although he is later reinstated due to his methods actually helping patients improve. He questions the school's soulless approach to medical care and clashes with the school's Dean Walcott (Bob Gunton), who believes that doctors must treat patients as patients and not bond with them as people. Because of this he wants to become a medical doctor and two years later enrolls at the Medical College of Virginia (now known as VCU School of Medicine) as the oldest first year student. Once there, he finds that using humor, as opposed to the indifferent sessions provided by their doctor, to help his fellow patients gives him a purpose in life. Contents Plot A suicidal Hunter 'Patch' Adams (Robin Williams) commits himself into a mental institution.
