Climber dealing with a broken limb? (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
tree surgeon
'climber' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'dealing with a broken limb?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'dealing with' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tree surgeon that I've seen before include "one who's handy with the willow?" , "branch manager?" , "One treating date, perhaps" , "One might slice cherries" , "chopper for plane, perhaps" .)
