And before he could move on to the next nifty fifty, he wanted to process how he'd lived, laughed, loved, and litigated along the way. So he wrote this semi-memoir. A semi-memie, let's call it.

It’s the truth — backed by science, lived in blood and burnout, and told with the kind of dark honesty that only another responder will understand.
