Kind-hearted Arkansas doctor cancels $650,000 worth of bills that his cancer patients could not afford to pay
A kind-hearted doctor from Arkansas has wrote off $650,000 worth of debt from his cancer patients' bills after he realized they could not afford to pay.
Dr. Omar Atiq founded The Arkansas Cancer Clinic in Pine Bluff, Jefferson County, operating for almost 30 years before being forced to close last March due to staff shortages.
The oncologist initially tried to collect the outstanding payments before realizing that many couldn't pay and ultimately decided to stop reaching out, Good Morning America reported.
Instead, he worked with the billing company he was using to cancel the debts and ensure that none of his former patients faced any negative financial repercussions, Arkansas Online added.
According to ABC News, around 200 of them received a greeting card in the week before Christmas informing them of the news.
