HOPE AND HEALING
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Eugene L. Alford, MD, who was paralyzed from the waist down in an accident 15 years ago, returned to work after 10 months of rehab and recuperation and has operated at Houston Methodist ever since. His specially designed wheelchair can be adjusted into a standing position or wheeled right next to the OR table. “I don’t like to be called an inspiration,” he says. “I demonstrate resilience and still put patients first.”
