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.

She was diagnosed with Subacute appendicitis and placed on medications but 3 days ago she was rushed into the hospital from the school on account of severe abdominal pains, and unable to stand up. She had an emergency surgery on acute of a worsening acute appendicitis and poor clinical conditions.
Medical history
Faith was admitted due to acute appendicitis, which caused severe illness. The scheduled surgery was successfully performed without any complications. She responded well to both the surgery and post-operative care. Faith was discharged in a stable state of health upon recovery. Currently, she is doing much better, with no abdominal pain or fever. She is actively playing and living her best life. Faith has returned to school, enjoying time with her friends, and the whole community is pleased about her good health.
Prognosis
If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, including a burst or ruptured appendix, which can be life-threatening. The most common and effective treatment for acute appendicitis is surgical removal of the inflamed appendix, a procedure called an appendectomy.
