One episode that stood out especially for Beth included actor Noah Wiley. Noah Wiley played the doctor on a show that required organ transplants. It sparked a conversation between the two sisters about what they wanted in such a situation. Emily doesn't want to live obsessed with the machine, especially if she can give a gift of life through donations. We actually talked about it almost ten years ago while watching this episode. Tragically, Emily was in that situation in 2023. She was attacked by a car on Beechwood Boulevard near her parents' home in Point Breeze. I am very grateful that we had that conversation. Because it gave me a sense of peace and I know this is what she wants. Emily's family says her kidneys went to two different people. Her liver could give another person, and her cornea could give a 9 month old boy the gift of vision. These donations bring peace for her family in the midst of their grief. There's nothing to get Emily back. I still miss her so badly every day. But I really embrace it as a good thing that comes from an incredible tragedy. Thanks to Emily, Beth's early exposure in life has led her to pursue a master's degree in public health and become an assistant professor who teaches and studies the role of entertainment in health stories. This week Best Life was in full circle when Noah Wyley, the new Pittsburgh-based medical drama star, came to town. Wtae was there when he toured Allegheny General Hospital, which is based on the show. She persuaded Wiley to come to Pitt School of Public Health at his stop here for a panel discussion on how medical issues are portrayed in the show. He can say he really cares, he really cares about getting the story right and using the media forever. Pitt has a story about the organ donation, and Beth hopes to inspire the audience with these difficult conversations, like the ER did for her and Emily years ago. I can't think of a better way to use the media to be better than highlighting the benefits of donations and getting it as a way for people to think, think and have difficult conversations. This is what I want if something unthinkable happens. A great story. You can also access the register and sign up to become an organ donor
