Doctors cry on the line in a disjointed manner (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incoherently

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'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.
