Where you might find a US MD getting increasingly silly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inaner

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'where you might find a us md' is the first definition.
(in an ER, emergency room)

'increasingly silly' is the second definition.
(inane can mean silly)

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for inaner that I've seen before include "Rather silly" , "More stupid" , "More empty" , "More vacuous" , "What's relatively lemon-like" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
