Bookings essential: ph 6333 6281
Life as a paramedic can be traumatic, gross, dull, hilarious and magical. But behind the sirens, and the life-or-death scenes, and the absurdity of non-urgent callouts, a paramedic’s career is very different to how most people imagine it.
Based on years of meticulously kept journals, Frog is an intimate look at the human cost of the job and the cumulative effect of trauma.
Copies of the book will be for sale on the night.
About the author
Sally Gould has been a paramedic for fourteen years and counting, and still finds joy in her self-proclaimed dream job. The professional and personal growth she experienced on the frontline, and the journals she kept during her early years in the field, were the inspiration for her memoir Frog.
Her draft manuscript won the narrative non-fiction category in the 2023 ASA/CA Award Mentorship Program.
When she’s not in uniform, Sally can be found tutoring paramedic students or immersed in her writing. She spends the rest of her days off nurturing herself through running, bushwalking, baking, attending theatre, and spending time with family and friends. Sally lives in Sydney with her husband and their two children.
