Doctors cry on the line in a disjointed manner (12)
I believe the answer is:
incoherently
'in a disjointed manner' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'doctors cry on the line' is the wordplay.
'doctors' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cry'+'on'+'the'+'line'='cryontheline'
'cryontheline' anagrammed gives 'INCOHERENTLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for incoherently that I've seen is " In an illogical manner".)
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
