Doctor let ma in for illness (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ailment

'for illness' is the definition.
(an ailment is an illness or health problem)

'doctor let ma in' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'let'+'ma'+'in'='letmain'
'letmain' anagrammed gives 'AILMENT'.

(Other definitions for ailment that I've seen before include "I lament (anag.)" , "Bodily disorder or disease" , "Physical disorder" , "Tim Alen has an odd indisposition." , "Minor illness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
