I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'doctor's cleverer friend' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'treated more shell shock' is the wordplay.
'treated' is an anagram indicator.
'more'+'shell'+'shock'='moreshellshock'
'moreshellshock' anagrammed gives 'SHERLOCK HOLMES'.

Can you help me to learn more?
