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 urology
A right kidney stone (right renal calculus) is a solid, pebble-like deposit of minerals and salts—most commonly calcium oxalate—that forms within the right kidney. These stones develop when substances in the urine become concentrated, leading to crystallization, and can cause severe pain in the right lower back, nausea, and blood in the urine. Nephrolithiasis is the formation of a solid stone in the kidney, usually composed of minerals such as calcium or uric acid. It commonly presents with colicky flank pain, pain radiating to the lower abdomen, painful urination, hematuria, and increased urinary frequency. Small stones may pass spontaneously, but larger stones often require surgical removal (e.g., ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy) to relieve obstruction and prevent complications.

Prognosis
For Aisha's case, the right kidney stone is causing severe pains, with blood in urine and pain urinating and she requires surgical treatment. Larger stones might require more extensive treatment like using sound waves to break up the stone (lithotripsy), surgery to remove very large stones, or using a scope passed through the bladder to remove smaller stones. Kidney stones can cause excruciating pain as they move through the urinary tract. If left untreated, the stone may continue to pass or become lodged in a position that causes persistent, severe pain.
