As in the movie ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ one must beware of sociopaths who barge in pushing people out of their way saying imperiously, “Trust me, I’m a doctor” or ‘I’m a priest, minister, whathave you.

Dr. Phil is a television performer, a circus performer, and he was prepared to exploit this woman and turn her traumatic medical incarceration into a side show freak show – and then he has the nerve to paint himself as a saint, a hero, and his actions as an enlightened intervention and dramatic action of self-sacrifice. It’s obscene. And unfortunately, just as blood draws vampires, medical dramas can draw psychopaths. He is a pathological personality.

Dr. Phil was certainly NOT her attending physician. He had no medical relationship with her at all. Informed consent anyone? HEPA patient privacy laws anyone? If he wants to drag in her parents as a cheap excuse, they should be charged as well. Britney Spears is an adult not a child, and I can see very well why she would want space from parents like hers who continue to abuse and exploit her like she isn’t worth anything.

And to top all this, he was going to put this on TV? On HIS television show?

Dr. Phil should be smacked with disciplinary action from whatever major cereal company issued his doctor’s license and Cedar Sinai should make sure their patients are better protected from sociopathic predators pretending to be saints.
