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.

YOBE STATE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL DAMATURU
Damaturu, Yobe State, 6 Gujba Road, Nigeria
Background
Ammi presented to the hospital with her parents, carrying only 600 Naira, which is less than one dollar. She has a good character, aspires to become a teacher in her community, and dreams of marrying and having children. Her family was displaced from their village due to insurgency. Ammi began experiencing fever and abdominal pain after returning from hawking. Despite being given traditional medications both orally and topically, her condition did not improve.
Medical history
The patient was admitted and treated for Typhoid Fever and Septicemia. After treatment
Outcome
Typhoid fever is typically treated with antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin or ceftriaxone. If left untreated, typhoid fever can lead to severe complications, including the spread of the infection to other organs and tissues, intestinal perforation, and in rare cases, life-threatening conditions such as sepsis or encephalitis. Timely treatment is crucial to prevent these serious outcomes.
