When he was a teenager, Hunter Adam was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental(心理的) health problems.

When he left the hospital, Adam decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, USA. But when he was there, he did things in a different way.
