DREW PINSKY - DR. DREW BLASTS DR. PHIL OVER SPEARS TREATMENT

Way to go Dr. Drew. I agree with him completely and feel that Dr. Phil's reason for intervening was purely a career tactic and in no way has any professional training to even attempt to help a person in this dimension of their illness and truly only hurt the situation more by making his actions public. In my opinion, if Dr. Phil was really interested in the wellbeing of Britney Spears he would have arranged for something private and in the very least brought along with him a trained professional. By speaking out about his conversation with her and by publicizing this I believe he also broke the sacred Doctor/Patient privilege regardless of whether he was given her permission to do so or not. How can a real doctor rely on the permission of someone that isn't capable of making rational and healthy decisions for themselves.
