"On an unrelated note, I don't think Dr. Phil should have blabbed about Britney's condition. Just because one is a celebrity doesn't mean they lose their right to privacy."

Frankly, I agree. But my inner cynic wonders: since, due to sanctions for unethical behaviour, Dr. Phil McGraw is no longer licensed to practice psychology and therefore cannot technically *have* patients, why would he ever consider himself in any way bound by HIPAA or Dr/Patient confidentiality?
