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.

Despite not completing school, he remains optimistic and is well regarded within his community for his good character and willingness to assist others. Patrick lives with his parents in a remote rural area where economic opportunities are limited. His father is a small-scale farmer whose modest income is mainly used to provide food and other basic necessities for the family. The household often struggles to afford healthcare and other essential expenses. Patrick was brought to the hospital by his father after experiencing severe epigastric pain, chills, lower back pain, vomiting, headache, and generalized body weakness for seven days. His condition progressively worsened, leaving him weak, unable to carry out normal daily activities, and with poor appetite and reduced oral intake. The persistent vomiting and abdominal pain caused significant discomfort and concern, prompting his family to seek urgent medical attention. Following clinical assessment and laboratory investigations, he was diagnosed with gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Due to the severity of his symptoms and the need for close monitoring, further investigations, and comprehensive treatment, he was admitted to the hospital for inpatient care.
