While you are surely an expert, I have to respectfully disagree. Re. 5d, I'm certain the first letter in the second word is an m, and I'm 99% sure that d??? m?a? is the answer. Your suggestion contains only 1 m for millions and I've observed, perhaps incorrectly, that the plural calls for 2 m's. Also I don't think you capture the meaning of sold in draw as well as my d-eal does, and I've got the meat there as ham and the hospital as h.

I do, however like your 11a- amening more than my obsolete avering as it captures the muses.

Your thoughts?
I am confused as I thought I had explained my answer.

Dead Meat is Flesh to be sold . This is to entered in the grid

The wordplay is Dead Heat - a draw Getting an M (million) in place of the H (hospital)

So Dead Heat becomes Meat.

Please come back if you still disagree.
