👉 Preterlethal is a medical term that refers to an event or condition that occurs before the expected outcome. It can be defined as a situation where a person's health, safety, or well-being is at risk due to a serious illness or injury that has not yet been diagnosed or treated. In preterlethal situations, there may be a delay in diagnosing or treating an illness or injury, which means that the victim may not receive proper medical attention and may die before receiving appropriate treatment
