Lid came off, concerning doctors? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

medical

'concerning doctors?' is the definition.
(relating to the medical profession)

'lid came off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lid'+'came'='lidcame'
'lidcame' anagrammed gives 'MEDICAL'.

(Other definitions for medical that I've seen before include "Declaim (anag) -- health check" , "Claimed (anag.)" , "Fitness examination" , "examination carried out by a doctor" , "Test for health" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
