Meet doctor she blames leaving hospital (8)
I believe the answer is:
assemble
'meet' is the definition.
(I know that meet can be written as assemble)
'doctor she blames leaving hospital' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'leaving' is a deletion indicator.
'hospital' becomes 'h' (abbreviation for hospital on maps).
'she'+'blames'='sheblames'
'sheblames' with 'h' taken away is 'seblames'.
'seblames' anagrammed gives 'ASSEMBLE'.
(Other definitions for assemble that I've seen before include "Put together all the components" , "Gather together at meeting place" , "fit together" , "Gather or collect together" , "Gather together in one place" .)
