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 emergency care
Acute appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, usually caused by obstruction or infection. It presents with sudden right lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes mild fever. If untreated, it can lead to appendix rupture, peritonitis, and severe infection. Treatment involves prompt surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy), along with hydration, pain management, and monitoring.
