Sally Gould takes us through her practical paramedic training and her work on the job, with forays into the job's impact on her mental health. it's a lot of this happened and this happened, but with enough emotional detail to make the story compelling. It may have helped that I listened to the audiobook and Gould sounds a little like Hannah Gadsby. It definitely helped that I'm married to an EMT and so have a little extra knowledge and interest in the work.
