There is a comedic show called Children’s Hospital with a physician character that heals with the power of laughter. It works as well as one might expect.
That was a play on Patch Adams as well.
Comic strip 1986. Patch Adams movie 1998.
As other commenters said, I was talking about children’s hospital, the far side comic doesn’t have anything to do with Patch Adams anyway, he was a real doctor, not a faith healer scammer.
Patch Adams started doing his thing in the 70’s. I’ve met him in real life!
Also I think they’re referring to Children’s Hospital.
