A teenager who suffered a sudden seizure in the New South Wales Northern Rivers waited half an hour for an ambulance before his desperate mother was told they should make their own way to hospital. 10 ambulances were 'ramped' at the nearby Lismore Base Hospital at the time, waiting to discharge their patients. It comes as the region gears up for the arrival of thousands of schoolies and holiday makers.
