Not fighting the doctor's decision to keep one in bed? (6,2,5,4)
I believe the answer is:
taking it lying down
'not fighting' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'the doctor's decision to keep one in bed?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'keep' could be 'own' (keep can mean to own or possess) and 'own' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'in' is within the answer.
'doctor' could be 'd' (eg in PhD, Doctor of Philosophy) and 'd' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
