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 liver & kidneys
Aisha is diagnosed with Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO), Colitis, and Liver Disease. Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO), also known as fever of unknown origin (FUO), is medically defined as an increase in body temperature more than 38.3 °C (101.0 °F) for at least 21 days or three weeks without any established aetiology. Colitis refers to inflammation of the inner lining of the colon, which is a part of the large intestine. It's a condition that can cause discomfort and various digestive issues. Symptoms of colitis can vary depending on the type but often include abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhea (which may be bloody), an urgent need to defecate, and weight loss. Liver disease (hepatic disease) is any disease that negatively affects the normal, healthy performance of the liver.
