Sine I have recently done a literature review on the topic the bullet points for medicine/healthcare and emergency work are a bit thin. Specifically for medicine there are tons and tons of academic publications and it's used for all sorts of training (mostly surgery). Emergency services use it mostly at the squad leading level and for some operational aspects. There are also some police use cases (even though I haven't researched that). I do remember one paper where researchers basically let criminals and students break into virtual houses and steal stuff to understand the process better.

I remain a bit skeptical when it comes to VR outside consumer though (maybe telepresence might be an exception). Most traditional businesses seem to be more interested in AR (for warehousing etc.)
