A terrible, terrible accident occured this weekend. A world-renowned burn specialist was killed in drunk driving accident. He treated a couple Burn Survivor friends of mine and they are mourning his loss. In fact, the whole Burn Survivor community mourns his loss for he was ahead of his time in Burn Reconstruction. I'm sure some of his ideas have played a part in my procedures.

I can't imagine what it would be like if one of my own personal Burn Doctors such as Dr. Pulito or Dr. Vangelisti (Dr. McDreamy) were to be killed. Particularly Dr. Vangelisti as he is the one who is making great advances in my reconstruction. If I lost him I don't know what I'd do.
It is a terrible time in the Burn community. Please pray for all those who wear his work on their skin and/or were affected by him in some way in their lives. He was a great man and this is a great, GREAT loss. I'm so sorry Haley and Michael.

Sarahbeth, it is such a tragedy. Not only was he the best at what he did for his patients, but also very kind and honest with us parents of his patients. He can't be replaced, but as he was a professor of future burn doctors, I have confidence that his work will be carried on. Prayers for his family and all whom he touched. Prayers for you too and keep up the great progress.
