A finger can be about "pointing the finger at someone" - saying that they are guilty.
In the closet - "skeleton in your closet" - something that you feel guilty about but wish to hide.
The doctor is the killer. The doctor is supposed to help you, but he is hurting you. This can mean that the solution that you decided on in order to deal with a problem (pretending that it never happened?) is actually making it worse.
