Who's the crazy one here? Dr. Phil drops in on Britney

Brit Blindsided By Phil -- Hospital Acts Curiously

The article discusses the TV doctor's strange uninvited unannounced intrusion on Britney Spears' privacy who was, at that time, a patient at Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

Even more curious than the TV ratings stunt of Dr. Phil's was Cedars-Sinai's deliberate violation of Britney Spears' HIPAA (privacy) rights. What legitimate hospital allows an intruder onto the floor of a locked ward, behind closed doors, when their intrusion is not wanted by their intended victim?

Dr. Phil's claims would seem to suggest that Britney Spears' forfeits any privacy rights if he asks permission from one of her family members to do what he did.

Apparently, he's letting Britney's publicity-loving Mom onto his Monday program and getting in to see Britney was part of the deal.

Britney is obviously in need of legitimate help from people who have her best interests at heart. Where are THOSE people?
