Head of hospital, stuffy and bald (8)
I believe the answer is:
hairless
'bald' is the definition.
('hairless' can be similar in meaning to 'bald')
'head of hospital stuffy' is the wordplay.
'head of' suggests taking the first letters.
'stuffy' becomes 'airless' ('airless' can be a synonym of 'stuffy').
The initial letter of 'hospital' is 'h'.
'h'+'airless'='HAIRLESS'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for hairless that I've seen before include "suffering shock loss" , "Furious" , "Bald" .)
