Jan 16 2008Dr. Phil investigated by psychology board

FIRST!!!

First

California is full of a bunch of hyenna's. The fact some dude took the time to do this complaint smacks of self interest. What a jackass. Please post the report so me can all spam the moron who complained. What a loser.

dr phil worked at ibm.

he is a level above all the sinners here.

Can we get REAL, OH KAY? MMM KAY?

Technically, is he bound to not discuss a patient when she isn't a patient?

That aside, he's an ass and I'd like to see him off the air. Too many stupid people think his words and opinions mean something.

*wild applause*

Ok PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINK WHERE WE CAN SIGN THE PETITION

KARMA IS A BITCH!

Yo, "A", here's the problem - it's not self-interest, it's self-regulation. Professionals are supposed to report practice violations to licensing boards. A therapist practicing without a license and discussing a patient's private health information should be reported. "Therapists" (and for that matter, medical doctors) would have better professional reputations if they policed themselves better, and took action to kick out the quacks and incompetents, like penishead here.

About time something was done. Dr Phil should be charged. Damned parasite.

Thanks PunkB but I understand professional statutes. I practice under one.

But here is the problem. Brit was never officially his client. He took no money from her, she never engaged him. They had a chat. Not against the law, not violating any statute. Not violating HIPAA because Brit never had any intent for it to be a client/practitioner relationship. So, that argument is BS.

By the way, he tried to get her on his show. He didn't try to get her to be his patient. So again, does not come close to a privileged or confidential relationship. Not even close.

Dr. Phil sucks, but this whole complaint is BS and stupid.

...if he was representing himself as a clinical psychologist while interviewing her, the information is private, whether she thinks she's a patient or not.

If you don't get real about being a fucking moron, you're gonna be a fucking moron.

Oprah will never allow this to happen. She's Oprah. She can do anything.

Dr. Phil only wanted her on the show. We all know it was for that purpose only. He didn't want one on one sessions with her. The dude did it for TV only. Again, I am no fan, but that complaint is just lame. Totally lame and would only happen in California.

Did someone say "self interest"? I agree. The jackass sounds like a jealous asshole with too much time on his hands. Yeah, I don't get who the hell Dr. Phil thought he was to even step in, other than the family asked him to, but I don't think he well, I lost my train of thought so I'm going to shut up now..

There is a god.. Well there is a god if he can get Dr Phil off the air and ship is fat ass back to Texas..

If he said "Hi, I'm Dr. Phil, I'm here to help you" whatever came next is private and confidential. It has nothing to do with insurance and billing - you don't have to charge or get paid to provide clinical services, nor do patients have to sign a consent form.

Give me a break! I can't believe someone who go that far to file that complaint. Obviously they have something wrong w/them.

Hi, I'm Dr. PunkA, and I am here to help you.

Um, no, no liability with that. It takes more than that for a relationship to occur. Especially if Brit had no intent--as has been indicated previously.

Dr. Phil was a bafoon, but to say he had a duty to Britney is just BS.

Britney needs serious help. Only the kind someone like me can give her. A kick in the eye!

That reminds me of a Bauhaus song..

I thought this was implied, but if he said "Hi, I'm Dr. Phil, I'm here to help you" and Britney disclosed private health information to him, for example mentioned what the medical staff at the hospital had told her or what she had told them, he was obligated to keep the information to himself. It does not matter one tiny bit if she refused to become his therapy patient or to talk to him further. If he represented himself as a practicing psychologist and obtained any private information, then later revealed it publicly without her consent, it was a violation of licensing standards. It wasn't even necessary for him to talk to her. If he, or any other licensed professional at the hospital, glanced at her chart and then revealed that information publicly, it would be a violation of professional ethics, even if there was no doctor-patient relationship whatsoever.

The information itself is private. That's the whole point of HIPAA. It doesn't matter how you obtain it - if you reveal it without consent, it's a violation.

Hey FRIST, What the hell is a "Bauhaus song"??

Even if there is a HIPAA violation, the claims of professional liability violations are BS. Again, it had been reported he tried to get her on his show. HE called her people, then went to see her. It is widely known he has a TV show, and dos not practice. In fact, it is common knowledge. Based upon that, be impossible to claim he violated any duty to her professionally.

And if some pap got the info from hospital personnel, then shared it, is that a HIPPA violation? try prosecuting that. Who knows where he found out what he did. Reports said Brit kicked him to the curb and didn't speak to him. If that is true, he violated nothing other than good common sense.

Nothing will happen here. Dr. Phalic will walk without a hearing. Tha tBoard knows they will look rdiculous if they do a thing. And the guy who complained needs to be ass violated by a broomstick for complaining like the little bitch he is.

Have you ever watched Phil and his cunt wife on air? I've known several used car salemen with more pride and decorum. These two assholes would sell their own children if anyone wanted to pay money for ugly kids.

YES! That whore, Dr. Phil, has made me sick for a long time.

HIPAA applies to health professionals, not photographers, so it does matter what the pap do. It's not widely known that Dr. Phil let his license lapse and does not practice. He runs no such disclaimer on his show or in any material associated with his name.

I can't believe somebody's defending him.

oops - make that, "does NOT matter what the pap do" in terms of stealing info.

Y'see....this is Oklahomans.... they're the biggest bunch of phony duplicitous sneak thieves the country has to offer. They are even known as the "sooner state" in reference to their cheating in the land rush west. You shake hands with an Oklahoman, count your fingers afterward. Look at that fuck Leon Russell basically co-opting Joe cocker's career. They're all crooked, while tellin' ya how to live your life, all the while cheatin' on their spouses, robbing from the till, taking payoffs and denying molestation charges. give it time and this Okie motherfucker will show his true colors, too.

Daddy Meant to add: "Fuck Oklahoma"

HAHAHA... I never could stand this tool bag.

The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists imposed disciplinary sanctions on McGraw on January 27, 1989 for an inappropriate "dual relationship" reported in 1988 by a therapy client/employee from 1984. McGraw was ordered by the Board to take an ethics class, pass a jurisprudence exam, complete a physical evaluation, undergo a psychological evaluation and have his practice supervised for one year in order to continue his private practice in Texas. McGraw admits to giving the client a "job" at his office (which is not allowed), but denied carrying on a sexual relationship with the 19 year old, who says their relationship was "sexually inappropriate."[ As of 2008, McGraw has not completed the conditions imposed by the Board of Examiners of Psychologists, and he is not licensed to practice psychology.

punkA i know what you're trying to say, but i don't understand why you're attacking the person who's actually doing something about getting this quack off his high horse. he's doing us all a big service.

Also, if you were a psychologist, you wouldn't want Dr. Phil ruining the professional reputation of your field either.

I'm with punkA on this one- how could he violate HIPAA if she's not his client?
This suit doesn't make sense.
But I do love the surreal-ity of Dr. Phil showing up to help Britney at the hospital.
Now if only aliens would land and little green alien photographers would jump out to take pictures of Britney at Taco Bell, this great country would achieve its ultimate destiny before we descend into the depths of economic recession.
Weeeee........

Brit should have complained, not some poser ass raper psychologist who knows neither party. If a wrong occurred, it happened to Brit. I understand professions police themselves, but to complain to the Board formally when they knew all the facts because it was public information and could have taken action if they deemed it necessary is stupid.

So I am not defending Dr. Phil. I could care less what happenes to him. I am attacking the culture where people bitch because they can get publicity for themeslves if they do. the guy is probably jonesing for some TV gig now. So I say screw him.

As for psycholgists protecting their rep, see Tom Cruise. I think he gave them amnesty from harm for several years to come.

@22 Wow Bauhaus, that takes me back.

To the point of this thread; whether Dr. Phucker acted in legally unprofessional manner or not, he was treading really close to professional ethics line. Good for that other doctor to take him to task. Dr. Phil is a quack, stomp him good!

I'm with punkA on this one- how could he violate HIPAA if she's not his client?
This suit doesn't make sense.

Weeeee........

It would be just lovely if he was arrested for a felony, and taken off television. He deserves it. He needs to stay away from my sister, and me.

Love,
Jamie's Uterus

18. Hell no! We got rid off him fair and square- you an thank Okra for that. Send him somewhere else.

Dr Ill is dangerous. Im sure he goes home after the show by walking on water, then turns it into wine.

I heard that if you work on his show and actually look at him in face, he will berate you, then fire you.

A person goes to the emergency room, gives her name, and gets put in an exam room. A guy walks in, says "I'm Dr. Jones, would you like to talk?" and she says she's thinking of killing herself. Then she gets agitated, bolts from the room, and leaves the ER, refusing treatment. Can Dr. Jones tell the public that so-and-so is suicidal? Absolutely not. There is no requirement for a "treating relationship" to exist - that's written into the Act itself. Health professionals who obtain private information by any means, and for any purpose (including research or teaching), are bound by HIPAA rules.

As much as I hate Shitney and this doofus, I think this is ridiculous - like you aren't even allowed to SPEAK to someone now cos you might be sued. I don't care if they sue him cos he's revolting, but I do think it sucks.

This news makes me so happy!

I always knew this man was a fake

#42, you are exactly right. Except Dr. Phallic is not a health professional. He is a TV personality. No different than if Brit had told TMZ or the Fish.

All you pricks talking about HIPAA and whatever take your goddam discussion to the fucking lawyers blog site or something.
If you want to post here, say something about Dr. Phil's big ugly shiny forehead or Shitney's vagina or something appropriate.

That's gonna be the most epic solo the world has ever heard.

The distortion will rip through the atmosphere, destroying everything.

Dr Drew did this. Way to go Dr Drew! You rule.

Some of you are fucking morons. This is an ethics complaint to the California Board of Psychology, not a lawsuit. The MD filing is doing his job, which is reporting unethical practices in his state.

Dr. Phil is a fraud, and the fact is that he showed up and was allowed to enter a private psych facility under the pretense of counseling someone, when he didn't have a license to do so. He also discussed her situation publicly, which is a breach of confidentiality, whether he is a doctor or not.

Anyone who would defend Dr. Phil, or worse, try to exonerate him because he's a tv personality, has the intelligence of a gnat.

I hate this guy, he deserves it. He is unprofessional and I don't think he truly helps people that come on his show. He always seemed to me to be a blowhard who wants money. Hate him, hope he goes down.

Where can I sign this petition?

WOW! I DIDN'T KNOW THEY STILL MADE WOODEN FALSE TEETH......

WOW! I DIDN'T KNOW THEY STILL MADE WOODEN FALSE TEETH......

No, anyone who thinks that a person who questions the validity of a complaint involving violation of HIPAA laws in a situation that doesn't involve a medical professional is the same thing as defending Dr. Phil "because he is a tv personality" has the intelligence of a gnat.
It's possible to think Dr. Phil is an ass and also disagree with the contention that he was practicing without a license or violating HIPAA laws.
It's called nuance, people.

Dr. Fat Fake GOIN DOWN!!!

Look at that squinty eyed butt nugget.

Hey, maybe Oprah could have a smackdown show like with the "Million Little Pieces" guy.

Oprah: So...you're not actually a medical doctor, correct?

Phil: Correct.

Oprah: ...And...I KNEW this...but...maybe I just didn't UNDERSTAND it CLEARLY enough...which put's you at fault, correct?

Phil: Correct

Oprah: Prepare to die fat-boy.

Righteous! There is a god. Even if this investigation doesn't come to fruition in the form of Dr. Phil being charged with a crime, it will serve to show the viewing public what an utter asshole everybody else knows Phil Mcgraw to be.

It's a shame, though, because the people that watch Dr. Phil (Oprah's audience) don't care that he's a fucking quack. What Mcgraw says goes. And they continue to pay his wages.

He made me sick for a long time. He should stop that stupid action. He is a palyboy. Just saw his profile on millionaire dating site WealthyRomance.com last week. I am wondering what kind of relatinship he is looking for on that site.

it has been said that brits mom lynn asked this fricken guy to go and talk to her,.. way to go!! only a moron would invite a t.v host posing as a psychiatrist to go and "help"her daughter,.. and then she has the nerve to be upset that this fake ass dummy opened his trap and said some dumb shit about her kid!! o.k so if he was posing as a health care professional and not all people knew that this so called liceance has been suspended for quite some time evidently from problems with his patients in the past then by all means he should go downnot only for violating HIPPA laws but for fraud and all the other things this entitles,. he should be sued (because lord knows lynns gonna need that money to add another room onto her double wide in the trailer park now that jamie-lynns giving birth to the spawn of satan)he should have to pay for all of it. and what the hell was opera doing by letting this nut job on her show in the first place with out knowing he had no liceance? goes to show though people love her to death she sometimes doesn't know all the facts and doesn't always have peoples best intrest in mind (but i forgive her) she just needs to check the fine print on all her people from her on out.operas word means a lot to her people and i can help but wonder if this is going to do anything to her credibility? any ways he needs to come off the air period i never understood what people seen in him,... i pegged him as a quack the first time i saw him on her show,.....i don't like brit but what has happened here was wrong and i hope he frys for it,....quack,..quack,..quackkk!!!!

Now you listen to me.....

Dr. Phil, you are a douchebag of the highest quality, and for that I commend you.

However, you are still a douchebag and if you had any honor you would kill yourself right now on live TV.

Think of the ratings!

Jeebus!!

Hey #63, maybe you should lay off the crack,..crack,.. craackkk!

It's true that Dr. Phil would be in deep shit if he were licensed, but he's not. It's hard to see what the punishment would be here, since there's no license to revoke, so the CA board can't really do anything to an ordinary citizen (which is what he's let himself become, by not renewing his license). On the other hand, it'd be possible to force him off the air, by hooking this up to much earlier charges of misconduct with a female patient and saying that he shows a general pattern of bullying women in distress for his own personal gain. It'd really help if he called somebody a fag or a n i g g g e r. Then he'd be off the air tomorrow.

Dr. Phil is an ASSHAT. please let his "license" be taken away

Although the man is not young anymore…but it is said he is interested in dating young ladies on a site called "wealthybeauty.com"…It seems that he is interested in dating wealthy woman.I don't know weather it is true

#68 spam much?!

Dr. Phil's "teeth" scare me. Looks like he had his dentures molded after Mr.Ed.

I am Kily. A hot white girl with perfect sexy stature.
I’m seeking for a good man, especial who love sports.

Self Serving QUACK!!!!!!! Where can I sign???

YES! My rant about HIPAA on every friggen news board worked. See ya, Dr. Phil.

he's so trashy,
i'd still do em

Unfortunately HIPAA laws do not apply to Dr. Assclown since he retired his license in 2006.

I think he should run for president... I mean, we haven't had a good assassination attempt in some time... what..?

Why are you all looking at me that way?

These people suffer from "credentialitis". Psycology is nothing more than listening and giving advice. Its not a science. Yet these psycologists want to corner the market in advice giving. The law should tell them to take a flying leap!

HIPAA laws? For Britney they should be...............wait for it..........HIPPO Laws!
AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHBAHAHAHAHAHH BAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

8- Why? Why is Karma a bitch? Do you even know what you're talking about or is it that you just couldn't wait to post such a trite comment? What is his karma? What is it that he has to pay for in his next life? How is that comment even relevant?

Hey kily200:

Hi there, I'm a loser with no life. I'm paid $3.50 per hour to post idiotic drivel, directing you to some lame dating website that takes your money and gives you nothing in return. I have no job, so I sit around all day and post this garbage on as many websites as I can under many different aliases. I don't have any friends, so I must rely on these moronic posts to make myself feel better about myself. My mother hates me and dropped me on my head as a child. You can find me at I'mAnIdiotTrollWithNoLifeAndShouldBeKilled.com
I heard Jamie Lynn Spears met her older man, I mean match, at this site.

Richromances.com and all those other fucking dating sites that get spammed around here are all registered to this asshole. Du Qiang ecomfun@aol.com 800 West El Camino Real, #180 Mountain View, California 94040 United States 650-906-0405

#80 - Thanks for the public service announcements. It was really helpful like the first 400 times or so, but now you too are on the edge of annoying spammerdom. You know they always warn cops not to become the monsters they lock away...

If you can not respect a doctor's decision to help someone, then your parents were not good role models for you. You need to grow up and be a man and a woman. Stop hiding behing your friends' shadow of ignorance.

I'd love to PUKE and SHIT on his bald head!!

I am Kily. I am a acne-riddled white girl with a fat ass and no self esteem.

HERE'S THE LINK TO THE INTERVIEW WITH THE PERSON WHO FILED THE COMPLAINT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

punka is a donkey fucker

short clip of the douche that started this petition

My friend (lawyer) worked on a case 4 or 5 years ago where the "doctor" was a jury consultant and called alot of Medical Boards and Associations Dr. Phil is supposed to be a member of. They told my friend that he was not a member of many of them and that they wished he'd stop putting them on his resume because it was a lie. I'm suprised it never came out before what a kook this guy is!

"...Then she gets agitated, bolts from the room, and leaves the ER, refusing treatment. Can Dr. Jones tell the public that so-and-so is suicidal? ..."

Yes. Dr. Jones has an obligation to report anyone who is a danger to herself or others. Dr. Jones would not have any idea of said patient was truly suicidal or homicidal. What if Brit bolted from the looney bin after her little pep talk with Dr. McPhullofhimslef and killed K-Fed (and thus be deserving of a medal of honor) or her two little boys?

Those little boys didn't ask to be born -- those cheeto chomping, no talent losers set out to create them. It's a sad situation that mothers can kill their own children.

If you are an MD, nurse, teacher, day-care provider or any one who comes into regular contact with children, you are a 'mandated reported'. Mandated reporter means that your ass can be tossed into jail for NOT reporting .

Additionally, (then I'll shut the hell up) with Dr. McPhallic using the "Dr." title before his name when he's not practicing or licensed, he's misleading the public. At the very least, he ought to be fined for being a huge dick and a gigantic liar. And a giant pain in the ass.

I hope he gets public lice from whomever his slut du jour might be. I can't imagine why Robin stays with him. If I knew my husband was cheating on me on some cheesy website, I'd strip him naked of every penny (and McPhallic would have some serious money bags) and make sure that I got as far away from that cheating asshole as possible.

OK, rant ended.

#89 Sapphire: Yes, but Dr. Jones would not be obligated to tell the PUBLIC, which is what the other poster meant. Dr. Phil went straight to the media WITHOUT consent or knowledge from Lynne and Jamie. He did NOT alert other medical professionals or authorities. He simply went to the media and said that he thought she needed more professional help after his "diagnosis", (which was him talking to her for 15 minutes). It will be up to the HIPAA to decide how they feel about this formal complaint; however, PunkA, I don't understand your reasoning that the MD who brought this complaint is out for fame and fortune when we have no idea who the person is. I have not heard this person's name mentioned, I have no idea of this person's gender....nadda. Kinda hard to seek fame when nobody knows who you are. And further more, Dr. Phil was asked by the Spears family to talk to Britney under the pretense that he is a *ahem* "Psychologist" or "Therapist". So yes, I think he is misrepresenting himself and not fully divulging that he is not supposed to practice professionally. But again, we'll see what the Psych Board does.

HEY NOW!!!

-he looks just like Hank Kingsley from the larry sanders show... Hank was a drug taking, hooker screwing hedonist, and incredile fuck up. -life imitates art?

Surprised to see all the general negative comments about Phil. He probably is still a doctor because he probably has a Ph.D. Personally I wouldn't hold his feet to the fire (hold him so responsible) because she is a celebrity and is in the news all the time, anyway. Britney's problems all seem to be things she does in secret, behind closed doors. I actually think it would help her more to see a public, "celebrity" psychologist where her stuff would be brought out in the open.

# 78 Karma is a bitch cause Phil is a self promoting, grandstanding asshole who uses other peoples pain and problems for his personal gain. Now he is going to get fucked for it. Pretty simple really.

#91 Hank Kingsley was twice the man this piece of shit will ever be. HEY NOW!

I pray and hope he goes off air... had enough of this impersonator getting rich for no merits other than being friends with Oprah (another mystery - why she got so rich and famous) and being extremely annoying

True, Dr. McPhallus didn't run into the street blabbing about Britney's stupid problems, but he did violate an ethical obligation. He should have declined the pressure from the Spears clan; that would have been the professional, ethical thing to do.

Just because your priest, reverend or rabbi hears your shortcomings and does not get paid for it does not provide the right for them to tell it to the world.

Additionally, Dr McPhallus pisses me off because he's really not a doctor, practicing or otherwise. Just because you have a Ph.D. does not automatically make you a "doctor". It makes you over-educated to do your stupid TV show with insipid fools for spoil. In the medical community, MD's have such great disdain for Ph.D.'s it is truly laughable. They just get their fur ruffled when you point out that particular nuance in semantics. They like running around saying "I'm a doctor" but would faint at the sight of a paper cut, the pansies.

Heloooooooooooooooo it does not matter if he has no medical license to revoke. the complaint is HE IS PRACTICING MEDICINE ...............WITHOUT A LICENSE....which is a felony

some of you are very dense

Dr Phil = Gay!

Oh ya, big time butt pogo jockey there....

I know of a family that Dr. Phil is destroying. They were totally lied to about what the show was going to present and who was going to be included in the show. And there was no reason for them to have wanted publicity. He did and will not do anything to help the people involved. He is simply running out of suckers that will fall for his claim to wanting to "help." I believe he is a total fraud. I just hope that the public will get the message that they have nothing to gain by having anything to do with this unscrupulous person.
