I'm stuck, as usual, in one corner of my crossword, and I would be grateful for any hints.

Good man held in ridicule comes to blows perhaps (5) ????Y (maybe ??S?Y)

Note doctor breaking a regulation and complain (7)
??A????

Thank you.

Not sure of that answer now, I got it this way.

Guy = Ridicule
+

ST = Good man

GUSTY seems more logical, more accurate to me.

Thank you Mamya and Terry. I assume 'ST' represents 'saint', eg 'good man'? That took me a while.

Thank you for the confirmation Chips.

I'm beginning to think the 'A' in the second clue is wrong.
