Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

About emergency care
Second-degree burns, also known as partial-thickness burns, are injuries to the skin that affect the outer layer (epidermis) and part of the underlying layer (dermis). Second-degree burns are typically painful, especially when the affected area is touched or exposed to heat.

Background
Sheldon's mother was out hanging some clothes that she had washed when she heard a sharp shrill come out of the kitchen. She dropped everything and rushed to the kitchen where she found Sheldon crying in pain. Sheldon had burnt himself on the umbilical region with a hot spoon. In a state of panic and uncertainty, she quickly applied cold water to the burn before rushing Sheldon to the hospital.
Medical history
The patient was brought to the facility with complaints of a second-degree burn in the umbilical region for three days. The wound was irritable. With the support of Helpster Charity Foundation, the wound was cleaned, and antibiotics along with silver sulfadiazine cream were provided. The mother was grateful for the help and was advised to keep the wound clean for proper healing.
Prognosis
It's essential to clean the wound to prevent infection. After that, Sheldon will receive creams which will help him care for the affected skin area and heal faster.
