I truly enjoyed seeing Patch Adams again. I have always loved this movie and I think it was a wonderful choice to use as an example for professionalism and patient care.

Proposition 21‚ also known as “the Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act of 1998‚” was passed in 2000 in the state of California with the objective of toughening the penalties on felonies committed by youths‚ specifically gang-related felonies. While the intention of this proposition is certainly a good one since it aimed to fight and reduce youth and gang-related crimes‚ the repercussions and harms that it brought to the youth population and the society as a whole‚ in my opinion‚ outweigh
