Patient investigation (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

case

This clue is a double definition.

'patient' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'investigation' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for case that I've seen before include "Wine buyer's basic quantity" , "Cover" , "Piece of luggage and a court proceeding" , "Outer shell" , "Trunk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
