Thing is, he did it to himself by talking about stuff he shouldn't have talked about:
"Doctor-patient confidentiality apparently doesn't extend to TV doctors. Or at least, not to one in particular. Britney Spears' family has lashed out at Dr. Phil McGraw for violating their trust by not only speaking so publicly—and frequently—to the media about his brief hospital meeting with the singer but by planning what was ultimately an ill-fated special about her plight."
Thing is, don't you think they have a good point?
I think Dr. Phil's a loser this week.
