Bad move on Dr Phil's part. If she relapses, suffers ANY grief, kills herself her family( or she if she doesn't die from the "trama of her problems tossed on national TV) MAY have the rights to sue Dr Phil to high heaven ESPECIALLY if she signed anything while in the hospital. Not that I care much about Britney, but she deserves good private mental health care like every other patient in that hospital AND, if DR Phil accidently films a "borderline personality" ...losing his license will be the least of his worries.
The local radio station just had a one sentence “report” on this. It said that the Spears family said that Dr. Phil crossed the line by talking publicly about this.
His public comment that “Britney is in dire need of medical intervention” (or whatever he said after meeting her) was in violation of his professional code of ethics. I was shocked that he made that comment to the public. Somebody needs to do some license-yanking or at least slap some sort of ethics violation on him.
