'frazzled director is' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'dishonest with hospital staff who treat patients in remote locations' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'dishonest' could be 'lying' (synonyms) and 'lying' is present in the answer.
'who' could be 'doctor' (from 'Doctor Who', the famous TV series) and 'doctor' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'being' acts as a link.
