Doctor sees wound before daughter is bandaged (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dressed

'is bandaged' is the definition.
('dressed' can be a synonym of 'bandaged')

'doctor sees wound before daughter' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' ('Dr' can be a synonym of 'doctor'**).
'wound' indicates anagramming the letters (wound can mean twisted or turned around).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'sees' is an anagram of 'esse'.
'dr'+'esse'+'d'='DRESSED'

(Other definitions for dressed that I've seen before include "Arranged" , "Brought into line" , "Up and ready to go" , "Applied manure to garden" , "Clothed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
