Is something missing in the sentence ??? Is it like "The doctor said that the patient should not have wasted --time-- before coming for help."

most of the time preposition follows gerund that is 'ing' in verb.
so there should be 'helping' in above sentence.
and i am unable to understand the meaning of the sentence.
