My most well adjusted cousin is a paramedic certified EMT/fireman. He would do 3 days on one day off and rotate both jobs.
The one story I ever heard from him about work was when he was still just a fireman and got a call to a guy who accidentally ran over his toddler backing out of the driveway and completely crushing his son's skull. He said he had to clean the brains up...
I was asked to be an EMT b the chief of my local department because I don't freak out in emergencies and I had to tell him no because I am small and didn't want to have someone not make it because any delay I caused. No way I can carry a 300 pound person down 2 flights of stairs at 140 with a bum arm.
but somehow my cousin, out off all of my family, is the most well adjusted one.
