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
Usman is a lively and cheerful nine-year-old boy who loves playing with his friends and helping his parents around the house. He is curious, observant, and enjoys listening to stories from his elders. Usman dreams of becoming a doctor one day so he can care for the sick in his community and make his family proud. Usman had been experiencing intermittent lower abdominal pain, dysuria, and hematuria for 6 months. He was diagnosed with a bladder stone few months ago in different facilty and scheduled for surgery, but couldn't afford the treatment cost. This morning, he developed acute urine retention. A stone was palpable in his urethra, and he was diagnosed with acute urine retention secondary to an impacted urethral stone. His parents were worried about his inability to pass urine. The stone was manipulated back to the bladder, and a urethral catheter was inserted for temporary relief. Surgery is planned pending approval from Helpster Charity Foundation.
