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
David was born into the family of Mr David and Mrs Monica. He is the second born of the family of three children. He is currently in Senior Secondary School year 2 at International School. His hobbies are playing football and singing. Since he was little he has had this pain going on but his parent who are poor farmers could not afford to raise the fee for the surgery. The family has been surviving from the help of church members and friends who take care of their feeding, clothing and shelter because the banditry activities had a devastating impact on the parents source of livelihood as they are not able to go to farm for fear of being kidnapped. Getting support for the medical condition has been a challenge. The excruciating pain from this ailment sometimes causes him to miss classes in school.
