Hospital workers tell stories (9)
I believe the answer is:
orderlies
'hospital workers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orderlies that I've seen before include "Solderer I join as soldiers who do errands for officers" , "Military or hospital attendants" , "Soldiers attending superior officers" , "Servants" , "Hospital attendants or soldiers working for officers" .)
