On a Wednesday in late October 2021, Wall Street found a quiet kind of confidence in an unexpected quarter — not in the grand ambitions of technology, but in the steadier rhythms of healthcare.

The three major indexes edged higher, but only just — a modest affirmation from a market that has not yet decided whether the story it is living through is one of recovery or of reckoning.
