BJ Miller is a hospice and palliative care<\/a> doctor who became interested in the field after nearly dying as a student at Princeton University<\/a>. It was in the middle of the night one night. He was out with pals when, as they crossed the railroad track, he climbed on top of a two-car commuter train that had been stopped for the night and was electrocuted by 11,000 volts. Both legs below the knees and half an arm were amputated as a result of the injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Miller is now a palliative care physician<\/a> at the UCSF Cancer Center<\/a>. From 2011 to 2016 he was executive director of the Zen Hospice Project<\/a> in San Francisco<\/a>. He and Shoshana Berger<\/a> co-wrote the new book “A Beginner’s Guide To The End<\/a>: Practical Advice for living life and coping with death\u201d, and founded the Center for Dying and Living<\/a>.\u00a0 This is an early-stage website that allows users to post their own stories of living with illness, disability, or pain or caring for those who suffer from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n BJ Miller at Instagram<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n BJ Miller at Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n BJ Miller at Twitter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n BJ Miller at Linkedin<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nWorks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
