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
Dan would like to be a teacher when he grows up. He likes to play volleyball and also likes to dance. He is a member of the school volleyball team. He came to the hospital with a severe headache.
Medical history
Dan came to the hospital with a severe headache. After a thorough examination, the doctor ruled out all other potential causes of the headache. His eyesight was checked and found to be normal. Laboratory tests revealed that he was suffering from malaria and septicemia. Since the infection had not advanced significantly, he was treated with oral medication. By the time he completed his prescribed dosage, he had fully recovered.
Outcome
The inflammatory response can damage organs, leading to their dysfunction or failure. Septicaemia is a leading cause of death, particularly if not promptly treated. Survivors may experience long-term physical, emotional, and cognitive effects. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are administered through an intravenous (IV) line to target and combat the underlying infection. Malaria should be treated promptly with the use of antimalarial drugs. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications and even death. It can result in organ failure, severe anemia, neurological issues, and in some cases, prove fatal, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial for preventing these life-threatening consequences.
