At A&E, taking drug to lower cholesterol (8)
I believe the answer is:
astatine
'at' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'ae taking drug to lower cholesterol' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'drug' could be 'statin' (type of drug) and 'statin' is found within the answer.
'ae' is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for astatine that I've seen before include "Chemical element At" , "radioactive material" , "Atomic number 85" , "Radioactive element" , "Rare element" .)
