The whole point of the scene is you think he is getting treated at first and he could be part of the story, when in reality he is getting killed, meaning the disease is incurable, Focus was on his shoes both when he first walks in and when his body is thrown out, and shows the brutal and grim reality of the situation without narrating it.

I don't like when shows think that the viewer is dumb and would have had Joel saying: "hey that kid just got an injury and tested positive for the zombie fungus that is incurable and he just got euthanized because they turn into zombies within 24 hours"

I prefer getting the hints so you can put the pieces together (injury, positive red test, needle, dead body).
