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.

Medical history
Migel was diagnosed with severe malaria and pneumonia then put to immediate treatment. This saved him from brain and lung damage. Pneumonia kills same with malaria. However by the time he was discharged, he could afford a smile and has resumed class
Prognosis
The infection should be treated immediately, since it may spread onto kidneys, if left untreated. It will also keep causing pain and discomfort if the treatment is not received.
