The mother, who was worried about her child's health, doubled her fears in the emergency room. Because dozens of children and mothers were waiting in line at the hospital.

According to the news in The Mirror newspaper; C.B. spent 3 hours in the hospital waiting room before returning home. The woman who returned home at around two in the morning received a phone call 6 hours later and was told that they could go to the hospital again.
