My understanding of the story was that the doctor who “wrote off” the bill in fact paid it out of his pocket.
Why?
He was the little thief whom the sick man rescued, paid for the medicines for the boy’s mother and sent him home with a bag of vegetable soup.
Read the subtitles: “All expenses paid for 30 years ago with three packs of painkiller and a bag of vegetable soup. Best regards, Dr. Prajak Arunthong”

Yes, Bwana, you're right. I'm just saying that even if there were a somewhat more cynical or worldly explanation, that doesn't take away from the goodness at the heart of this video.
By the way, it's reportedly a true story. The framed pictures in the last few seconds of the video, show the real doctor.
