Everything Is An Emergency
I'm Bess Stillman: ER doctor, writer, and wife to Jake Seliger, who is currently dying of SCC of the tongue. I write about the challenges of being corporeal. Here you'll find essays on life, death, cancer, love, health & healthcare.
“As an ER Doc Bess Stillman writes about the front lines of healthcare making me laugh and cry in equal measure. As the wife and primary caregiver of a husband dying of tongue cancer she writes of love, impending loss and the madness of the US healthcare system with searing clarity. She breaks my heart open on the regular.”
