Gargle one nurse prepared for medical officer (7,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surgeon general

'medical officer' is the definition.
(surgeon general is a kind of medical officer)

'gargle one nurse prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'gargle'+'one'+'nurse'='gargleonenurse'
'gargleonenurse' anagrammed gives 'SURGEON GENERAL'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for surgeon general that I've seen is " Top doctor".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
