Matt Miller for UVA Health System
This is Dr. Matt Miller. When he was in college he had a bicycle accident on the Blue Ridge Parkway. A Martha Jefferson anesthesiologist happened to be at the scene of the accident and was able to get Matt's airway opened and quickly got him evacuated to the UVA Medical Center. Every bone in Matt’s face was broken, along with many other injuries. After his recovery, Matt decided to finish his medical degree specializing in facial reconstruction. He is now working at (you guessed it) the University of Virginia Health System. Read the article in Pulse about him here - http://pulse.uvahealth.com/stories/the-road-forward. Also, Michael Vitez, a pulitzer prize winning journalist with the Philadelpha Inquirer published a book "the road back" chronicling Matt's story. As an aside Matt was real pleasure to meet and photograph. Thank you Amy Jackson and Lynn Woodson for your help and support.
