Shocking, and beautifully written all the same.

I'd heard about Firefighters having an increased risk of cancer because Shonda Rhimes show Station 19 (firefighters) had a storyline about cancer. Here's a link to a site with the details of the show https://greysanatomy.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000395115#:~:text=He%20stepped%20down%20as%20captain,cancer%20had%20the%20first%20time.

'He stepped down as captain in order to focus on his cancer treatment...'

The citation in the article: https://www.lls.org/managing-your-cancer/firefighters-and-cancer-risk

with references.

I think the storyline was also about who would pay for treatment.
