Apparently speaking to his travel agent, an upgrade to C would be around $1000. What are odds of being able to upgrade at the gate, check in or some other way and what are likely to be the costs?
once you board the plane, and if there are seats available in C, you can upgrace for 700$
if he has doctor's orders to fly with his leg straight, why not contact the insurance company ?
