Crossword Genius

Doctor harming records, resulting in dismissal (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marching orders

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

'doctor harming records' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'harming'+'records'='harmingrecords'
'harmingrecords' anagrammed gives 'MARCHING ORDERS'.

'resulting in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for marching orders that I've seen before include "what the infantry may be given" , "Military command" , "what's given to departing soldiers?" , "given when firing?" , "Dismissal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
