The clues...
Requests for help should normally include the clue itself, the number of letters in the answer and details of any you already have. Any special instructions or additional information, common in Listener puzzles, should also be included.
Hints only, please, no answers.

The theme...
Help with the theme may also be sought and given here. The help should be fairly gentle in nature - just a nudge, a pointer in the right direction. Please avoid giving anything that would spoil the puzzle for other solvers.
If you do feel that too much has been revealed, please get in touch with the site administrator - Norah.evoluted@aol.com. As Norah errs on the side of caution, anything at all iffy is likely to be removed.

The Listener is a unique puzzle and should be treated with respect.

An astonishing piece of construction! Many thanks, Charybdis.

Agreed. Excellent puzzle, very clever construction, good clues.

I have a couple of parsing loose ends but I'll leave them til later in the week.

I really enjoyed this puzzle. Quite tough, but PDMs came pretty much when required. Very satisfying.

And what a construction this is! Top quality.

Many thanks, Charybdis!

I hadn't appreciated how apposite the puzzle was. Another tick for Charybdis.

All completed, without actually working out what the three letter abbreviation led to - instead, the unclueds gave me the theme word.

Very enjoyable puzzle - very well constructed, and suitably difficult. Thanks to Charybdis.

Although I had the theme I thought I needed to work out the 3 letter abbreviation to complete the end game so came on here for a final hint. When I realised the translation wasn't needed and finished the end game it was perfection. Brilliant puzzle and finished by lunchtime!

Does the early neurologist mean to work on bed?

Yes, kind of gitto. Sounds like you have the right guy
