Meet Dave Lassam, The Man for the Job

I joined the Navy in 1978 and was discharged in late 2016 after almost 39 years’ service. I served as a medic and also a Medical Administration Officer during my time. The book contains my memories of an awesome career and covers many subjects from my attendance at car accidents; reviving people who had had heart attacks; working in disaster zones to give humanitarian aid and many other stories.

I wrote this at the behest of many of my civilian friends with whom I had told these stories and also for myself. I have been involved in some of the biggest news stories in Australia including my role in the evacuation of Australian nationals from Bali after the Bali Bombings, to commanding a group of medical specialists and sailors who deployed with the US Navy during humanitarian missions to the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean.

It also covers my diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Prostate cancer, which basically ended my career.
