At dawn on the 15th of last month, an ambulance enters the alley of Suwon residential area.
The paramedics scrambled and set off in a minute.
A 16-year-old A, who suffered from moya moya disease, which narrowed or blocked blood vessels in the brain, collapsed due to cerebral hemorrhage.
[Mr. A's mother: I have a headache, that was the last thing I said. So I told him to wait a little bit and to wake up....]
After getting into the ambulance, paramedics rushed to find a hospital to treat the child.
At that time, the ambulance with a 16-year-old man A in the alley couldn't move for a while.
It's because I was calling to find an emergency room to accommodate A.
We contacted everything we could, including two nearby small and medium-sized hospitals and university hospitals, but there was no place where medical treatment was possible.
[Mr. A's mother: Even if you say no, say no, and keep calling.... Even if you come, you can't do anything right now. That's how I said it.]
Only 9km away from home, one emergency room was connected and I arrived at the hospital 70 minutes after the first report.
[Mr. A's mother] I was so scared. This is going to go wrong.... He didn't take it anywhere. There was nothing I could do.]
However, the hospital took him to another place, saying the surgery was difficult, and four hours later, the student was on the operating table six hours after the first report.
A, who did not receive proper treatment in time, passed away in a week after wandering around.

Mr. A, who suffered from moya moya disease and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, arrives at the hospital in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon 70 minutes after the first report.
At that time, the medical staff judged that treatment was impossible when a rare disease and a cerebral hemorrhage were confirmed, and decided on all other hospitals.
[Mr. A's mother: But since I'm here, I thought I could do it quickly, but I'm sorry, but the surgery doesn't work. We don't have the equipment and the teacher.' He said that.]
I obtained and examined the urgent contact from the hospital to another large hospital.
A university hospital in Seoul said that it takes time to answer because there is no room in the intensive care unit, and a university hospital in Yongin also said that it is impossible to transfer all of them to a university hospital in Suwon.
I couldn't even reach the other place at all.
[First-time transportation hospital official: I heard that the disease itself is not that easy. I think you did medication (in the emergency room).]
In the end, he raised an emergency situation at the Central Emergency Medical Center and underwent surgery six hours after the first report at a hospital in Gunpo, 15 kilometers away from this hospital.
But they didn't save their lives.
[Mr. A's mother: My husband just said let me go. Let's let him go because he worked hard. We caught too much.]
The university hospitals that did not accept A explained that it was impossible because there was no room in the intensive care unit at YTN, or that even if they visited the emergency room, it was difficult to treat behind the scenes because there were no medical staff.
It is presumed to be due to the medical gap caused by the aftermath of the legislative conflict, but the mother, who lost her son in her birth, still cannot let go of her child in her arms.
[Mr. A's mother: I still can't let him go. Wouldn't it feel bad if I didn't realize it and doctors knew people were dying like this?]
