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.

Prognosis
The prognosis of a hemorrhagic rash with pus, when properly treated with antibiotics, depends on the the patient's overall health, and how fast the treatment is initiated. The prognosis is good with early antibiotic treatment. Most cases resolve within 7–14 days. If the hemorrhagic rash with pus is bacterial in origin and treated promptly, the prognosis is excellent with full recovery.
