17. Dr Phil is unbelievably stubborn and is so vain that he obviously needs some kind of intervention. Is there a doctor out there who will go see him, alert the press about the visit so they will be waiting, and then make a public statement? I'm hoping the law suit filed against Dr. Phil has some merit.

18. Dr. Phil is still talking.........Does he not realize that to fix a problem "you must first acknowledge your problem"

19. Dr Phil, or should I just refer to you as Phil since you are not a medical doctor ?? In your statement you called Brittney a girl ?? Since when is a WOMAN with 2 marriages and 2 children a girl ??
This is exactly why people don't watch your show. You are very condescending and your wife needs to stop with the plastic surgery or she will look like Joan Rivers soon.
You don't want to apologize but you want to make a statement that you are helping this family. In my book there are those you say and those that do..Phil you're just full of alot of talk and not much action.

20. HEY Big MAN - learn the ropes. You don't go where you are not invited and then just blow the whole thing off. Learn to live BY THE RULES! You are NOT LICENSED to go parading around on TV like a REAL Dr. If you want that - then get your license back! Your judgement lacks living in the real world - with real peole - NOT the nut cases on the TV show.
21. I beleave if he was really trying to help he would not have told the world and he would not have been trying to put a show together about her.

22. Yeah, she's doing SO WELL without his advice. Good on him for trying, and for backing up a bit with dignity.

23. Sorry Dr. Phil. I'm not buying it. Even if her family invited him, he knows damn well he is not licensed to practice, he knows he's not a member of the staff at Cedars, so he knows that even with an invitation, the absolute only thing he can do is show up and invite her to his show. He can't treat her so he would have had to get her to sign a release that it's all for entertainment purposes only. What the hell good is THAT going to do her?
He should have told her parents when they called him to get a real doctor that could actually do something. There is no way I'll ever believe he was doing anything but try to get a TV show out of it for ratings. I'll never watch his show again.

24. DR Phil is usually very sensible, with the exception of a few mistakes Ive seen him make on his show. However I can;t imagine him being so dumb as to make a mistake like giving information of Britneys that should have remained private until her family said it could be released publicly. He really goofed, Without a doubt I'm sure he realizes what a dumb mistake he made.

25. Hopey-joe - he WAS invited. If that's what you think, then why are you sticking your opinion out there without being asked?

26. Hey mrphil, your personal inventory needs to be audited. You obviously do not possess the humility to admit that you had no business confronting Britney. You do not have the skills, the training, the demeanor, or ever was invited to do an intervention by the ONLY person who had the right to ask you for help. A friend would have respected the sick individual and respected the PROFESSIONALS to do their job. A qualified mental health expert would already have determined that the parents you claim are your friends are unstable themselves and are the last people to be interfering in her treatment. I'm done with this subject, you need to stop beating that dead pony and walk away. You have some formal complaints to deal with, don't you?

27. Excuse me, #25, Mirror, Mirror, as stupid as you can be, I SAID HE WAS INVITED THE MEDIA SAID SO, And you are sticking your stupid opinion out here too, so stop be a dumb hypocrite. You obviously cant read, I SAID he was invited.

28. Dr Phil is all about his ratings...........He got involved and ran his BIG mouth because he wanted to do a show with Britney and her family. His visit had nothing to do with compassion. RATINGS PEOPE!!!

29. Britney is an adult. She is the one that should determine who does and does not visit her, period. I really don't understand these Dr. Phil apologists. I am amazed, that you allow all of the people who are on television: Oprah, Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray just to name a few, to have so much power over you. You need to think for yourself people. Blaze your own trail, live your on life, not preach at the altar of St. Oprah and her minions.
