'fidgety' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'i am someone in hospital' is the wordplay.
'i am' becomes 'I'm' (contraction).
'someone in hospital' becomes 'patient' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'im'+'patient'='IMPATIENT'

'possibly' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for impatient that I've seen before include "Restless; intolerant" , "not able to wait" , "fed up with waiting time?" , "Job wasn't" , "Pit at mine (anag.)" .)
