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
Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. Kidney stones can cause severe pain in the back and side of the abdomen, pain during urination, pink, red, or brown urine, nausea, vomiting, and a persistent need to urinate.

Background
Ayuba is a 20-year-old young man whose parent is a pensioner. He's a bit shy but has a passion for music and dancing. When he thinks about his future, he dreams of becoming an accountant. But about 10 months ago, he began to feel pain in his right side, lower back, and had difficulty urinating. He went to different healthcare places, and they found out he had a kidney stone in his right kidney. Sadly, he didn't have enough money to pay for the medical bills. Now, Ayuba is waiting for treatment to remove the kidney stone and get better.
Medical history
Ayuba Sadiq had a large, persistent kidney stone causing significant pain. The stone could only be removed through a surgical procedure called nephrolithotomy. He was admitted for the surgery on March 1, 2024. The surgery was successful, and he was discharged on March 5, 2024. Both Ayuba and the UMD Medical Clinic are pleased with the outcome, as the surgery was successful and Ayuba is now pain-free and in good health.
Prognosis
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.
