Self-absorbed doctor after removing stomach blockage (7)
I believe the answer is:
embargo
'blockage' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'self-absorbed doctor after removing stomach' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'doctor' could be 'mb' (Bachelor of Medicine, Medicinae Baccalaureus) and 'mb' 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?
(Other definitions for embargo that I've seen before include "Trade stoppage" , "Admiralty order" , "Proscribe, ban" , "Order intended to prevent trade" , "Prohibit" .)
