Doctor Hammond Stein gets a reprimand (12)
I believe the answer is:
admonishment
'a reprimand' is the definition.
(admonishment is a kind of reprimand)
'doctor hammond stein' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hammond'+'stein'='hammondstein'
'hammondstein' with letters rearranged gives 'ADMONISHMENT'.
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for admonishment that I've seen before include "Rebuke" , "Firm reprimand" .)
