I wonder if there's a general guide about various professions for authors. That would be pretty useful. What a regular day is like, skills they typically use, what an abnormal day is like, and things that fiction already gets wrong or right.

If there isn't one maybe I should edit one together.

The Wire is probably the best at it. I believe its actually used in some criminal justice programs and such. I do remember where I was watching a clip where actual drug dealers were watching the Wire and mentioning what was accurate and wasn't accurate. Needless to say they couldn't believe a dude like Omar would be alive for so long especially as a gay man.

To be fair, the reason in the show he stayed alive for so long was because everyone feared his reputation, and in the end

he's randomly gunned down out of nowhere by a kid who wasn't afraid of him.

Medical, apparently doctors are the only staff at hospitals.

No kidding. As a hospital pharmacist I don't even have to worry about being misrepresented in fiction because I don't think my job has ever been depicted at all.
