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 infections
Pneumonia develops when the defensive mechanisms within the lung become overwhelmed by a pathogen which has been either inhaled or aspirated. It is associated with a high mortality rate and significant morbidity. Severe pneumonia is frequently a multisystem disease and patients will often present with multiple organ failure.

Background
Anita enjoys fashion and styling hair. When she grows up, she dreams of owning a big salon and becoming a hairdresser. She's currently in school and loves taking part in athletics and music festivals. However, she recently started complaining of a headache, chest pain, and cough, so her family brought her to the hospital for a check-up.
Medical history
Anita dreams of owning a big salon and becoming a hairdresser. She's currently in school and loves taking part in athletics and music festivals. She presented to the hospital with symptoms of headache, chest pain, and cough; was diagnosed to be suffering from pneumonia and put on treatment. She got well after the treatment and resumed school.
Prognosis
Pneumonia should be treated with antibiotics. If left untreated, pneumonia may lead to the permanent lung damage, respiratory failure, septicaemia (infection entering blood stream and causing sepsis), pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the space between the lung and chest wall, which can make breathing difficult), and other life-threatening complications.
