Crossword Genius

Doctor in rush, working (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surgeon

'doctor' is the definition.
(surgeon is a type of doctor)

'rush working' is the wordplay.
'rush' becomes 'surge' (synonyms).
'working' becomes 'on' (e.g. a machine is working or on).
'surge'+'on'='SURGEON'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for surgeon that I've seen before include "Doctor in operating theatre - RN doctor" , "Physician" , "One who operates" , "incisive person" , "Medical operator" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
