'bandages' is the definition.
(dresses a wound)

'medic on english ship gets drug and small' is the wordplay.
'medic on english ship' becomes 'dress' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gets' means one lot of letters goes inside another (gets can mean captures or absorbs).
'drug' becomes 'e' (E is another name for ecstasy).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'e' put after 's' is 'se'.
'dress' going around 'se' is 'DRESSES'.
