Crossword Genius

Difficult situation upsetting medic and parent (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

predicament

'difficult situation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'upsetting medic and parent' is the wordplay.
'upsetting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'medic' after 'parent' is 'parentmedic'.
'parentmedic' is an anagram of 'PREDICAMENT'.

(Other definitions for predicament that I've seen before include "in corner" , "Scrape" , "Difficult position" , "Spot" , "Plight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
