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
Meet Humphrey, a cheerful 3-year-old who loves to draw and paint. Sometimes, his parents have noticed that his groin area swells on and off. This swelling can come with tummy pain and vomiting. The doctors have recommended a surgery to fix it. When he's not in pain, Humphrey is a happy and playful kid. He's so into drawing that if he can't find paper, he'll draw on the walls.
Medical history
Humphrey was brought to hospital in pain. and looking sickly. On investigations he was diagnosed for reducable left inguinal hernia. He was put on medication and responded well. The parents got word about activities of Helpster Charity from Helpster volunteer at e medical camp organized by Elgon View Hospital
Outcome
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.
