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
Deborah is a girl of 9 years old whose parents hail from Ijebu-Ode Local Government Area of Nigeria. He is presently living with her parents. Deborah was diagnosed for Left Inguinal Hernia. She needs urgent surgical treatment which if not treated will lead to life- threatening complication. Deborah couldn't have the surgery done due to the inability of her parents to raise the require medical bill.
Medical history
We are the parents of Deborah who had surgery (Left Inguinal Herniorrhaphy) at Divine Amazing Grace Hospital. Before the surgery Deborah had been having recurrent lower abdominal pain that has been affecting her school attendant. This has been a source of worry to us as parents. We appreciate Helpster for coming to our aid and bringing joy and laughter back to the household.
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.
