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
Martin is a 1-year-old boy who's usually very happy and loves playing with toys. Lately, he's been dealing with a cough and feeling warm, like he has a fever. The situation at home is tough because Martin's father left the family, and he used to provide for them. Now, Martin's mom is having a hard time paying for the hospital bills.
Medical history
Martin had been showing signs of a respiratory tract infection for the past week, including a cough and fever. The doctor examined him with a stethoscope and confirmed early signs of a chest infection, which could be treated with oral medication. His mother was given the prescribed medication for Martin to take at home and was advised to bring him back for a review after three days. On the day of his follow-up, Martin was doing well.
Prognosis
Treatment for URTIs is primarily focused on relieving symptoms and allowing the body's immune system to clear the infection. This may involve rest, staying hydrated, over-the-counter cold remedies, and, in some cases, antiviral medications (for specific viral infections like influenza).
