Bringing back monkey used for research, losing hospital award (13)
I believe the answer is:
resuscitation
'bringing back monkey used for research' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'losing hospital award' is the wordplay.
'losing hospital' becomes 'resus' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'award' becomes 'citation' (citation is a kind of award).
'resus'+'citation'='RESUSCITATION'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resuscitation that I've seen before include "Artificial respiration" , "Act of revival from unconsciousness" , "Act of bringing back to consciousness" , "freeing the airways" , "Return of vitality" .)
