6d Number of people being operated on (12)
I have worked out the answer to this, by trial and error, which is a word meaning a particular medical professional. I cannot see what this has to do with the clue. Can anyone give me a clue to this conundrum, without spilling the beans?

Number (12)


That was me hooked.
