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.

Background
Gloria lives with her mom and is the oldest child in the family. She's a diligent student in the first grade and dreams of becoming a teacher when she grows up. Gloria enjoys singing in the choir and watching shows. Her mom works hard to provide for the family. They came to the facility because Gloria's left leg is swollen, and they wanted to get it checked out.
Medical history
Gloria and her mother visited the facility due to swelling in Gloria's left leg. It was diagnosed as cellulitis, which had caused pain and swelling in the lower limb for the past two days. She was treated and prescribed medication to take at home. An X-ray was performed, confirming that the bone was not affected.
Prognosis
Complications of cellulitis can be very serious. These can include extensive tissue damage and tissue death (gangrene). The infection can also spread to the blood, bones, lymph system, heart, or nervous system. These infections can lead to amputation, shock, or even death. Doctors treat cellulitis with antibiotics.
