40. Palliative Advocate Dr. BJ Miller | Take Good Care
Manage episode 299469141 series 2928328
BJ Miller is a Hospice & Palliative Care Doctor with a unique path that brought him to this work.
As a sophomore at Princeton, while goofing around one night with his buddies, BJ climbed on top of a sleeping commuter train and was immediately electrocuted by 11,000 volts. As a result, BJ lost both his legs at the knee and one arm making him a triple amputee.
BJ and I talked not about his accident or the fact that he now has two futuristic metal blades for legs, but about his deep care for his patients and what he hopes to achieve with his virtual palliative services practice, Mettle Health.
