'will do this procedure' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'turn up and crumble a doctor' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'turn'+'up'+'crumble'+'a'='turnupcrumblea'
'turnupcrumblea' anagrammed gives 'LUMBAR PUNCTURE'.
