Emergency helper, as normal in the morning, iced wound (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paramedic

'emergency helper' is the definition.
(someone who provides emergency medical care)

'normal in the morning iced wound' is the wordplay.
'normal' becomes 'par' (as in par for the course).
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (AM on a clock).
'wound' indicates an anagram (wound can mean twisted or turned around).
'iced' is an anagram of 'edic'.
'par'+'am'+'edic'='PARAMEDIC'

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for paramedic that I've seen before include "Professional first-aider" , "that helps bones" , "Doctor's assistant" , "first aider" , "emergency help" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
