This story, about a successful Wall Street trader who quit in middle age to become an FDNY paramedic, spoke to me in so many ways. It inverts the usual EMS career arc (eager kid becomes a paramedic, burns out after a few years, leaves to get a "real" career) and made me reflect on what it means to lead a fulfilling life. Also, interesting to read about all that has and hasn't changed since I was there (and followed the more typical arc) too many decades ago.
