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 infections
The child was running temperature, frequent vomiting, dehydration and weakness. Her symptoms suggested severe malaria, Typhoid fever and suspected pregnancy. 3 Serum PT and 2 scans were done to rule out pregnancy. The findings from the investigations were inconsistent with 1 serum pregnancy test showing positive for pregnancy but when repeated twice the results came back negative. Because of this inconsistency, 2 ultrasound scans were done and they both came back negative. Afterwhich the child was treated for malaria fever.
