No Dice for Dr. Phil This Time Around

46. Still talking a..hole?????He talks on about needing to shut up. How paradoxical. This is the kind of person that gives psychology a bad name. Dr. Corn Pone, all the movies and TV shows with therapists having sex and other types of dysfunctional, unethical relationships with their patients, trying to make patients out of friends and acquaintances and in the case of this retard Oprah spawn....just trying to backpedal and looking more stupid by the minute. My GOD he is tiresome. Jerry Springer with no hair and no brains. Shut UP.

47. That anyone ever paid attention to anything Phil had to say in the first place is a very sad statement about our society. As screwed up as we human beings may be, we sure as hell don't need blowhard fools like Phil telling us what to think and feel and do. That's just the blind leading the blind. Phil, your fifteen minutes are up!

48. You can all thank Opera for him She launched his career. I wonder now if she is big time "j" for all his attention he has gotten in life. Took some away from her.

49. Hey TMZ - folks outside of California don't know what 5150 is - you should explain to those people that don't live in paradise.

51. What an egotistical idiot. Make that an unethical - egotistical idiot. He is just trying to save his a*s. He is a walking lawsuit in the making.

53. 5150 -- do a search for "California Codes; 5150". There are other 51xx's all having to do with holding someone for psychiatric reasons. I live in San Francisco & on weekends the "5150's" take up many of the emergency room beds! I like living among the nuts.

55. "Dr." Phil is in love with the sound of his own voice. If only he had something worth saying.

Now that he purposely let his license lapse, he's probably not answerable to any state's medical board for ethical or other professional lapses. Good move.

56. If you're serious about apologizing, Dr. Phil. Shut your pie whole right now, look up the Spears' phone number and tell them you're sorry for calling attention publically to their mentally unstable daughter who obviously doesn't need more public humiliation and then leave it at that. The girl looks to be getting help now so time to stop crying about it.

57. To #47 amaaazed: A 5150 means that someone can be hospitalized on a medical hold for psychiatric evaluation for 72 hours if they are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others (or seriously impaired and unable to care for themselves). It's not an easy criteria to meet, and police and health professionals are very sensitive to be sure someone meets the legal criteria (in other words, to keep people from being locked up against their will without a good medical reason). Mental patients have legal (patient) rights in CA.At the same time, someone in Britney's condition is probably not capable of realizing how serious her condition is. That's part of the disease (i.e., bipolar, if that is what she has).

58. I usually do not add comments to these things. But as a person in the medical field I can tell you that DR PHIL..if that is what he really is...Is running around trying to defend himself and keep at bay the fact that he could be sued for everything he has got including his medical liscence...IF HE REALLY HAS ONE. There is a little thing called a HIPPA violatin that everyone in the medical field knows and respects when it comes to talking about patients. The minute he stepped into Brittany's room, and opened his mouth she became his patient.
This guy is only concerned about publicity. His ego is outragous!! Why do people watch him?

59. Not buying it, Dr. Phil! You messed up big time and need to ask yourself.."how's that working for you"! It's easy to see that your excuses aren't working at all. Looks like your 15 minutes of fame are almost up.

60. Hey Phil, Your time in the sun is up. No one likes you so go on and crawl back from where you came from. Haven't you used enough people to further your career ... and make tons of money ?
