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
Lilian enjoys playing with a skipping rope and has a passion for cooking. She has many favorite dishes and can't decide which one she loves to cook the most. At school, she's into art and craft, where she enjoys painting and drawing. However, recently, she had to go to the hospital because she had a fever and felt dizzy.
Medical history
Lilian was admitted to the hospital with a headache, hotness of the body, and dizziness. The patient was diagnosed with the Upper respiratory tract infection. Lilan received Amoxiclav and Paracetamol. Now she feels much better.
Prognosis
If an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is not treated, it can weaken the immune system and the body's natural defenses. This can make it easier for other infections, such as bacterial sinusitis or ear infections, to develop as secondary complications. If the URTI is caused by a contagious virus (e.g., the common cold or influenza), untreated individuals can continue to spread the infection to others, potentially leading to outbreaks in close-contact settings like schools or workplaces.
