Example of a doctor getting induced to return (5)
I believe the answer is:
model
'example' is the definition.
(I know that example can be written as model)
'doctor getting induced to return' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'mo' (medical officer).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'induced to' becomes 'led' (I've seen this before).
'return' says the letters should be written backwards.
'led' written backwards gives 'del'.
'mo'+'del'='MODEL'
'of a' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for model that I've seen before include "Exemplar of chic" , "Pattern" , "(Person functioning as) example" , "Possibly the last" , "Small-scale representation" .)
