Tricky one. One note - 13D and 14A combine to make IM + MI. I think you were wanting to connect it to the last letter of 12A, E, for MIME- instead of repeating the M that crosses 13D/14A.
I put the block in highlights to signal the anagrams but didn’t explain that, based on clue alone you’re right that’s not intuitive. Good catch!

I tried “CPR” and “mouth-to-mouth” as the meta answer.
The anagrams with the uncrossed letters were arbitrary, the uncrossed letters could have been reversed; it’s a lot of potential trial and error.
