Distorted point of view held by doctor (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mangled

'distorted' is the definition.
(mangling is a kind of distorting)

'point of view held by doctor' is the wordplay.
'point of view' becomes 'angle' (angle is a kind of point of view).
'held by' is an insertion indicator.
'doctor' becomes 'md' ('MD' can be a synonym of 'doctor'**).
'angle' put within 'md' is 'MANGLED'.

(Other definitions for mangled that I've seen before include "Distorted" , "Mutilated - pressed clothes through a machine" , "Chewed up" , "did butcher" , "Damn leg may be mutilated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
