Hi Marvin,

Some come to mind right away - 

a) work in a newer hospital that is accessible.  Use an Amigo (3 wheel
battery powered cart to get around)

b) do insurance review.  This can be done at home on a contract basis.
They need physicians to do it.  He can devote any number of hours to
it.

c) Expert witness and consultant to legal profession.

d) Researcher with drug company.

e) Teach?

f) Complete change of career (thousands of possibilities. Don't have
time to go into them here)

I don't understand though why this disability keeps him from working as
an sitting anesthesiologist.
