I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'by hospital worker' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'in haste taste concoction' is the wordplay.
'concoction' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'haste'+'taste'='inhastetaste'
'inhastetaste' with letters rearranged gives 'ANAESTHETIST'.

'created' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anaesthetist that I've seen before include "Hospital theatre worker" , "One preparing patients for operations" , "Number" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
