Major episode demands intensive care - initially from her? (5)
I believe the answer is:
medic
'her?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'major episode demands intensive care initially' is the wordplay.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'major episode demands intensive care' is 'MEDIC'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for medic that I've seen before include "Eg, doctor" , "Physician (informal)" , "He may offer treatment" , "Health worker" , "Word for 'doctor'" .)
