The word DOCTOR in cryptic clues can mean several things. It can be the letter combos DR, GP (general practitioner), MB (Bachelor of Medicine), MD (Doctor of Medicine), MO (Medical Officer) or PhD (Doctor of Philosophy). It can also be a clue that an ANAGRAM is involved (you have to DOCTOR the word to turn it into a different word).

Thank you - you're so nice! Yes, "ST" = "good man"/"holy man" in cryptic crosswords. It's a common abbreviation for SAINT (although female and non-binary saints are also available, and the more progressive crosswords sometimes clue this letter combo "good person"/"good woman")
