I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'doctor's enemy' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'edging in trailer' is the wordplay.
'edging' becomes 'hem' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'trailer' becomes 'taster' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hem' going into 'taster' is 'THE MASTER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
