No medic turned out to be fiendish (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demonic

'to be fiendish' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'no medic turned' is the wordplay.
'turned' is an anagram indicator.
'no'+'medic'='nomedic'
'nomedic' is an anagram of 'DEMONIC'.

'out' is the link.

(Other definitions for demonic that I've seen before include "Fiendish or satanic" , "Dime con (anag.)" , "Inspired as if by a fiend" , "diabolical" , "Devilish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
