Feared doctor getting procedure's end dead wrong (7)
I believe the answer is:
dreaded
'feared' is the definition.
('dread' can be a synonym of 'fear')
'doctor getting procedure's end dead wrong' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' (abbreviation).
'getting' indicates putting letters inside.
'end' says to take the final letters.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
The final letter of 'procedure' is 'e'.
'dead' is an anagram of 'eadd'.
'e' inserted within 'eadd' is 'eaded'.
'dr'+'eaded'='DREADED'
(Other definitions for dreaded that I've seen before include "Was fearful of" , "Regarded with great apprehension" , "Anticipated with fear" , "Greatly feared" .)
