Why is treatment done earlier than admission?
Sometimes, when a case is urgent and vital, hospitals may proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalization 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.

Background
Perpetua resides with her parents in the town's slum area. Despite their challenging circumstances, she is a cheerful and playful girl who enjoys playing with toys and watching cartoons. Perpetua has a fondness for yogurt and sweet cakes. However, her childhood has been marked by a health concern: swelling in the inguinal area that comes and goes. This issue was first detected during a routine check-up at the child welfare clinic when Perpetua was just a year old. Despite the recommendation for surgery to repair the hernia, her family has been unable to afford the procedure, leaving her condition untreated.

Prognosis
If left untreated, inguinal hernias can lead to complications such as bowel obstruction, strangulation (where blood supply to the herniated tissue is cut off), and significant pain or discomfort. Surgery is the most common treatment for inguinal hernias to repair the weakened area and prevent these potential complications.
