The name of the young doctor who assigned me to the head doctor was Mushroom. And he didnt want me to call him Dr. He was pretty tall, barefoot, had a tie dye T-shirt, and was wearing a big red clown nose. I could not imagine the kind of medicine that would be practiced under such bizarre conditions. It was Patch. Patch Adams. He said that my job was to escort all patients that the head nurse first checked in, directly over to him. She was very pretty, had a clipboard, and was completely naked.
