Bad Medicine

The State of California is investigating loud-mouthed, self-important TV "shrink" Dr. Phil for practicing without a license and violating patient confidentiality when he barged into Britney Spears' hospital room with his camera crew, and then discussed her case publicly.

And apparently, Dr. Phil could be better named *Dr. Feel. (Ooh!) He doesn't have a license in Texas anymore because it got yanked after he "failed to complete the conditions imposed as disciplinary sanctions" from the Texas Board in 1989 after a former client claimed that he put his healing hands on her. Sure, people often say things like that when they aren't true...but in this case, I'll just go ahead and believe it.

Because what. a. fraud. I especially love it that he penned a book called "Relationship Rescue" and dispenses marriage advice on his show as if he's Jesus Christ, despite the fact that he's a divorcee. I can only suppose and hope that he learned from his mistakes, but you'll never catch him owning up to mistakes or mentioning his first marriage on his show.

I've never seen anyone who loves himself as much as this guy does. To Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil is the wisest, snazziest guy who ever made a sandwich.

*After I wrote this, I saw on his IMDB page that Sesame Street in fact named a puppet after him--"Dr. Feel". Coincidence?
