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
Alpha is usually a very cheerful child, but it's easy to notice when he's not feeling well because he becomes quieter. He loves playing football with his friends. He came to the hospital feeling weak all over and not wanting to eat. The doctors found out that he has tonsillitis.
Medical history
Alpha was brought to the hospital with symptoms of generally body malaise and refusal to feed. He had initially complained about pain on swallowing the past few days and a fever. The doctors found out that he has tonsillitis. Examination of the oral cavity revealed inflamed tonsils with diffuse pus pockets. He was put on intravenous fluids since he was dehydrated and also put on antibiotics to manage the tonsilitis. After an antibiotic course of 5 days, he was completely healed of the tonsilitis and back to his normal self.
Prognosis
Tonsillitis should be treated with antibiotics. If left untreated, the discomfort will remain, and the inflammation may develop and spread onto the other organs. An abscess can form around the tonsils, causing severe pain, difficulty swallowing, and the need for drainage or surgical intervention.
