Meltdowns
Brit Pitches Fit

Britney SpearsWe are hearing from multiple sources that Britney Spears is throwing a fit on the 7th floor of Cedars-Sinai. She is demanding to leave, screaming at the staff, will not lie or sit still, we're told.

From all indications, she is being held on a 5150, which means she is a danger to herself and others. Typically, people in that situation can be held for 72 hours against their will.

We have also been told she has pulled her IV out and is generally out of control. Another source at the hospital tells TMZ she could be heard yelling at various staffers and she was described by nurses as being "difficult."

76. Hopefully they can somehow medicate her, for her own safety and let her get the much needed rest she is fighting against.
I am more than familiar with Bi-Polar my Aunt bless her sole sufferred so needlessly all her life...
I as well as 2 sisters have also been diagnosed with BP, deprression,anxiety and numerous med. problems.
BACK to the topic... I'm sure there is a med order for 'freaking out' but it is doubtful she would take it willingly, so get an order for injections, a pill seems easy to take after a 'forced rest'..She will come around after a lot of drugs and sleep..
But will she 'come back'?? only time will tell..Never been a Brit fan but I see someone who has mental problems and that in its self is pure hell..I've seen the aftereffects a 'cycle' can cause, in a way it is worse than drugs..
I have vivid memories at age 2 so these children will remember as well..
I know I got off topic but it helped me remember the craziness following an admittance..

77. She is a hero! What strength! what determination to be free! When her story is retold she will be seen in hind sight as a real woman trying to be independent but the world won't let her be! If she behaved the way the rest of us would she would have faded away! This is what makes you a superstar!

80. I would like to be one of her caregivers. I would smack her silly, and when she screamed, I would say "Didn't do it. The bitch is crazy"

82. Well if she is reacting that way in the looney let her let it all out, she will eventually get tired, I think.

84. Hey TMZ - as addicted to y'all as I am, I'm concerned about Britney's rights to privacy - ever heard of HIPAA? I know it's not illegal for you to go looking for her medical info without her consent - but it is immoral. She is arguably the world's most publicly violated person. Now that you know that a mental disorder may explain her behavior, shouldn't you pull it back a bit and let her get treated without the threat of your interests colliding with hers?
An example - nurses, orderlies, janitors, all looking for info on her while they should be acting COMPLETELY in her best interests instead of their own? They want the info to give or sell to the media, and because of that, she'll get worse care. Please do your part and try to protect her if and when those that should don't.

86. TMZ itself is violating medical confidentiality by posting this, if any of it is true in the first place. Whatever is happening in her room is protected by confidentiality laws, and people on 51/50 are not just out in regular wards where general public could "happen" to hear anything.

So, TMZ, either you are merely speculating and making up fake sources (translation: lying), or you are breaking the law. Since no legal authorities have pulled your article, the logical conclusion is that it is all speculation on your part.

87. And the Insider reports that she left this morning via underground tunnel.
Get the real story, someone.

88. TMZ...identify your sources at the Hospital or stop making this stuff up...good grief!

89. I am also thinking about those mothers who killed their children in the name of love. I hope
the lawyers are thinking about the children. I could see something like this happening more
than I can see Britney hurting herself. I really think she is too vain to hurt herself. EX: her
apperance on the VMA's and what she wears out. THis has all the signs.

90. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE just slap this gutter slut into shape. Britney is a trailer trash whore, just like her mother and her sister. It is a shame she gets all this attention (which she feeds on). She should be placed in a small cold cell with a hard bed and left to rot slowly and painfully. ... But that would be too good for her.
