Situation involving an impossible choice (7)

I believe the answer is:

dilemma

(Other definitions for dilemma that I've seen before include "a problem for Shaw's doctor" , "Unpalatable choice" , "Awkward situation" , "Difficult-choice situation" , "tricky position" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
