The title:
Treat first, Paid Second in Emergency

It refers to that in emergency treatment, doctors will treat a patient in the first place, regardless of whether the patient has paid or not. After the patient gets rid of danger or gets recovered, the patient will have to pay for the medical service he receives.

In emergency cases, a doctor must not worry about payment. He must treat the patient first and think about his fees secondly. In other words, if a patient is suffering from a heart attack. A doctor is forbidden from asking for a patients health care or insurance papers, before he treats the patient, the bills are irrelevant in comparison to the treatment of a patients illness.

@oristarA,
I think your point would be made more clearly if you said:

Treatment first- Payment Secondary

An ER doc doesn't charge fees. He's an employee of the hospital and gets paid an hourly rate - so whether he's sitting there waiting for an ambulance to arrive or leading a code on a heart attack victim, he makes the same amount of money.

It's the hospital who determines who's gonna pay what and how and then they pay the doctor.

@Ceili,
Oh sorry - I thought when you said, 'he must think about his fees' that meant you thought there were fees he had to think about.
