VIDEO: Luis Suarez surprises Uruguayan cancer patient with video call

In a world where Luis Suarez is constantly criticised for his faults, it's important that his good deeds don't go unnoticed.

Mateo, a young cancer patient at the Dr. Perez Scremini Foundation in Uruguay, was brought in to the hospital for a consultation with a "very special doctor" that would take place via video call.

That doctor turned out to be Suarez, who - as far as we know - is not a real doctor, and the Uruguayan forward subsequently promised to send Mateo a match-worn Barcelona shirt if he's good and does what the doctors say.
