He was paralysed from rugby while a medical student. He did qualify but the General Medical Council refused to register him as a doctor. Nevertheless, Stephen went on to gain postgraduate degrees and became an Adjunct Professor of Bioengineering. He presented a Bradlaw Oration at the Royal College of Surgeons and was awarded an honorary FDS.
