Bill about to receive care after a fever: strong tissue found (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

achilles tendon

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

'bill' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'about to receive care after a fever strong tissue found' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is present in the answer.
'care' could be 'tend' (I've seen this before) and 'tend' is found in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for achilles tendon that I've seen before include "accident spot" , "part of body" , "sinew" , "Tissue" , "part of leg" .)
