(2013, November 27). <em>Daily Mail</em>. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2513994/Paralyzed-doctor-performs-surgery-thanks-stand-wheelchair.html Description An account of the resource This 2013 <em>Daily Mail</em> report on Dr. Ted Rummel, who is paralyzed, offers an example of the merging of person and technology in media depictions of disabled medical professionals. While acknowledging Rummel's personal determination, the article explicitly focuses on the role of wheelchair technology in enabling his return to surgery after becoming paralyzed. Rummel is depicted as inseparable from his chair in a manner that exposes how technology makes disability situational. The absence or availability of his wheelchair has the power to create or remove exclusion, marginalization, or disenfranchisement.
