No Dice for Dr. Phil This Time Around

Dr. Phil McGraw says that the Spears family hasn't contacted him after Brit's latest 5150 -- shocker! --, and he says that her second trip to the hospital isn't a surprise.

Still on his tour-of-regret on TV talk shows, Dr. Phil remained uncharacteristically tight-lipped about this morning's action while on "The View," except to say that it "could be a good thing." Then he continued to blather on about how he shouldn't have talked about Britney in the first place.

61. He did nothing wrong except for making the mistake of commenting about it afterwards. It's so sad that when someone tries to help, they get pulled down and criticized. His wife is friends with the Spears and he was trying to help by the FAMILY'S REQUEST to get her some help. There always is a fall guy or scapegoat. Leave the dude alone already.

64. I am sorry that Dr. Phil has had to bear the brunt of what is, the Spears craziness. He was quite clear about his position in this whole affair, and I certainly have no reason to doubt him, as I've never thought of him as a liar. Not so with the Back-Stabbing Spears family who left him to dry as their sacrificial lamb, they didn't come out and support him publicly, as they should have. Doc, the next time one of those sick sons and daughters o'bitches, named Spear call you. Don't say no, say HELL NO!!! I don't understand why all the anger towards this guy, he's pretty straight up in my opinion. Maybe the poor just Doc just hit a nerve with some of you, in one of his many diagnosis' from dealing with all of you crazies who hate so much. Hating only hurts you, no one else. It takes time away from the day that God gave you today to enjoy life. I feel ya, Dr. Phil, it ain't easy being green, now is it? Thus far, he's the only person who's made sense, so SHUT UP YA'LL...lol.

65. To Victoria who says...
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.

Hey Victoria....Get your facts straight, he walked in as a friend of
the family, that does not "Automatically" make him her doctor. He
has never called them, they called him for assistance. Like I said,
they just never came out to support him being there, and in my mind,
The Spears family has shown absolutely NO class by not supporting
him, because they are so afraid of Britney being mad at them.
Instead, they left the poor guy out to dry. It seems they are all a
bunch of low lifes..those Spears. But you do bring up only one good point, and
that is, for now, he should not say any more and remove himself from
this entire bowl of nuts, and not say a word, especially now.

Unfortunately, Not all stories which have been
printed are not true, or misleading. And, oftentimes, people
mis-read what is written. So, don't believe everything you
read. Ya'll need to chill, and not spend so much time hating and
being so angry. That'll make you old and ugly real fast, if you keep that up.

67. Nope, not Dr. Phil, I'm too pretty to be him. I'm just a gal who's got her own opinion, which I think is okay. After all, you are here too, and I THINK this is America...:) So, who's the idiot?

68. "DR" Phil, your 15 minutes is up, get off the stage. You have a big mouth. I know Brit wansn't your patient but to capitalize on her mental problems makes you no better than the papsrazzi.

69. He's NOT practicing anymore, so therefore, he wasn't violating anything. He was acting AS A FAMILY FRIEND. Not as a doc.

71. #61 because you are right, this is America, and I'm a gal with an opinion too. Unlike some, I think you are eloquent and well spoken.

72. It looks to me like "Dr" Phil is now paying people to post positive comments about him. What he did with Britney is very telling. It exposed him for what he is, an attention seeking, ambulance chasing quack. He completely lost my respect when he made comments about Britney and planned a show so he could come across as some sort of hero. What a weasel! TMZ make money out of exploiting celebrities. It's what they do, and they do it well. "Dr" Phil apparently makes money out helping people which is why I am so disgusted with him.

73. Why is it that when people have a different OPINION, some think they were paid to express that opinion? That's so arrogant and small-minded.

74. So he's not supposed to make money? Even your everyday psychiatrists, psycologists, hospital workers, and like make money. Celebrities make money. Ya know what, mostly everyone makes money. Just because he landed a good gig, in my HUMBLE opinion, doesn't mean he should be hated.

75. Who rattled your lame cage Sacha? Or are you on the payroll too? That’s the only reason I can see for you taking anti "Dr" Phil comments so personally. You also appear unable to grasp what I was saying or address it with any intelligence. The point I was making dimwit, was that the nature of his profession is that he takes a vows to help and aid his patients and he the fact that he makes money from it is not a problem for me. The problem I have is him exploiting others by virtue of the access he has acquired through his profession. The man talked openly about her mental health after barging in on her unwanted, and then went further by trying to arrange a televised intervention with the family. He does not want to help, help is something he would have done with respect for Britney and her family and most importantly, in privacy. He wants a piece of the circus. What a pie**ce of S**t he is!
