Doctor gets parent drug (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mdma

'drug' is the definition.
(MDMA is an example)

'doctor gets parent' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'md' (synonyms).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'parent' becomes 'ma' (ma can mean mum or mother).
'md'+'ma'='MDMA'

(Other definitions for mdma that I've seen before include "Drug" , "E" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
