I am really impressed with the heart of compassion displayed by Doctor Omar Atiq who served cancer patients in his clinic in Pine Bluff Arkansas after 29 years of business decided to pardon the medical debts of $650,000 dollars.
Doctor Atiq decided to pardon the debts of his patients since he learned that his patients were not able to pay off their medical bills due to the financial crisis.
Around 200 patients received a notice from the doctor the good news during the Christmas holidays that they do not have to pay their medical bills which made them happy and relieved that one money problem is solved.
Doctor Atiq is now a professor at the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences in Little Rock Arkansas who is being praised as a person with a heart of compassion.

I do not think it is even though the story was on the good news stories sites.

That was really sweet of him, but he may have figured he wasn't going to get it anyway, so he might as well get some good press out of it..lol.
