... rise being supported by doctor (7)
I believe the answer is:
surgeon
'doctor' is the definition.
(surgeon is a kind of doctor)
'rise being supported by' is the wordplay.
'rise' becomes 'surge' (surging is a kind of rising).
'being supported by' becomes 'on'.
'surge'+'on'='SURGEON'
(Other definitions for surgeon that I've seen before include "Operating medic" , "Medical specialist" , "One who operates" , "Man with knife" , "Operating medical practitioner" .)
