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 pulmonology
Pneumonia develops when the defensive mechanisms within the lung become overwhelmed by a pathogen which has been either inhaled or aspirated. It is associated with a high mortality rate and significant morbidity. Severe pneumonia is frequently a multisystem disease and patients will often present with multiple organ failure.

Background
Mael is a joyful child who finds delight in playing with his friends, running around with laughter, and expressing himself through singing and dancing. However, Mael has been unwell lately, experiencing a persistent dry cough accompanied by a runny nose, fever, and a rash on his face. The cough is so severe that it interferes with his ability to eat, as he coughs frequently.
Medical history
He had been experiencing a persistent cough, flu symptoms, and fever for the past three days, along with a facial skin rash. After evaluation, he was diagnosed with pneumonia. He was discharged with a prescription for antibiotics and pain relievers to aid his recovery. He is doing well.
Prognosis
Pneumonia should be treated with antibiotics. If left untreated, pneumonia may lead to the permanent lung damage, respiratory failure, septicaemia (infection entering blood stream and causing sepsis), pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the space between the lung and chest wall, which can make breathing difficult), and other life-threatening complications.
