9D. No longer with us after wrong dose given. Hopeless! (8)
I have D?s???t?

there are only 3 words that cross it to give a reference.
5A.Heard a filly ate Ted despite being closely connected (10)
I have Affiliated
13A. Unfairness apparent in phobia seminar (4)
I have Bias
22A. Have intense dislike of French exam (6)
I have Detest
The last letter of each of these answers crosses 9D. I'm sorry I don't have any more letters to give as a reference. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thankyou, Butterfly
