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
Thyroiditis is inflammation of the thyroid gland, and if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as permanent damage to the gland, resulting in hypothyroidism. This condition may cause symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold. In severe cases, untreated thyroiditis can lead to myxedema coma, a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention.
