BJ Miller was a sophomore in college when he lost both his legs and half of one arm in a freak electrical accident with a New Jersey commuter train. He spent months in a burn unit followed by outpatient physical therapy to learn how to manage daily life as a triple amputee. Looking to put to use the lessons he learned on suffering, BJ decided to become a physician - specifically a palliative care doctor, working with patients to create a dignified, graceful end of life experience. BJ shares his thoughts on what truly matters in life from spending time with hundreds of people facing its end. Benefiting The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care https://www.thectac.org/Follow us on social media!Twitter: @allthewiserpodInstagram: @allthewiserpodcastFacebook: @allthewiserpodcastHave a story to share with us or feedback about an episode you heard?
