Doctor: ' … er, you're still lacking determination' (12)
I believe the answer is:
irresolutely
'doctor er you're still lacking determination' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'doctor er you're still' is the wordplay.
'doctor ' indicates an anagram.
'er'+'youre'+'still'='eryourestill'
'eryourestill' is an anagram of 'irresolutely'.
