Thanks very much to Claire Wickham and Margaret Byron - I have now had a reply from a qualified oncologist who uses a wheelchair. He had an accident during his medical degree and now uses a wheelchair. He did the last three years of the degree in a wheelchair, and has written a book about his experiences. This can be downloaded here: http://www.lulu.com/content/614647 The student at my end is really pleased, and is going to get in touch with the author. So thanks again.
