Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicator is 'transplants... with', 'heart', and 'heart of'. Two of these are selection indicators that narrow our focus to only certain letters in some neighbouring fodder. And the other is a kind of swapping indicator where certain parts of fodder are swapped with each other.
- This clue's fodder is 'Doctor' and 'one'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'one', and in this clue, the sense of 'one' is leveraging the surface of the entire clue. We're not looking for a number, we're looking for the kind of 'one' whose heart is used in a transplant. Note: this clue is almost an &lit. It's at least a partial &lit, but may just be an &lit. It's on the cusp.
