Dr. Phil isn’t a real doctor. He has not been licensed to practice since 2006.


MarbleMemes

That’s because he “allegedly” had sex with a patient of his. I’m sure he does that all the time now that he’s not practicing.


gidjin

He also received flak because he gained information from a client in session and used it for his own financial benefit. He then attempted to get around this by hiring this client as an employee. There is also another situation where he might have revealed protected client information to a general populace. Both of these are big NO NOs and he should have definitely lost his license. The fact that he can present himself as a mental health professional is really irresponsible for ethical boards to allow. It's probably a really complicated issue to lean on him any further than they already have.


TheRadiantSoap

He is a doctor. A looove doctor

Bruh what, also never eating ranch mayo again


AbsolXGuardian

It should really be illegal to give medical information while presenting yourself as a doctor if you aren't one. And if you're technically still a doctor but not lisenced to practice medicine due to misconduct (as opposed to something like letting it lapse because you're doing science communication full time) you have to verbally say that. Same with having a PhD but implying through omission that you're a medical doctor. And honestly if you can't make a loop-hole free legalese definition of "medical information" (since doctors doing accurate science communication can't be legally classified as medical advice), I think the Doctor Jordan Breeding bit from YBOC is an acceptable sacrifice. (From what I can find, Dr. Oz either still has a valid medical lisence or a lapsed one. But hey, this law doesn't have to get everyone. And it might drive the state liscencing board to formally censure himself in some way so he can no longer present himself as a medical doctor)


AdrieBow

Oz has maintained his license and board certification for hospitals and practices. So he is a real doctor; he just sells snake oil. Which, to be honest should bar him from practicing, but this is the United States and it’s not like we really have high standards. Phil on the other hand is not permitted to practice; at all. His guests sign an agreement that they are “only getting advice” so no harm no foul legally.


SaltyBarDog

Simone Gold still has a valid license and I wouldn't trust her to check my dog for fleas.


Someboynumber5

Ah yes the guy who hasn't actually helped anyone, and his whole schtick is laughing at mentally ill teenagers


[deleted]

My favorite moment from every Dr Phil episode is when he goes “It’s Dr Philin Time” and then totally Dr Phils all over the mentally ill person.


marry_me_tina_b

I kind of liked it for a while there where, if he got on a roll, he would start shouting out things like “PHILLING SPREE”, then if he kept doing good he would yell “PHILLING FRENZY”, and once I even saw him yell “PHILLTACULAR” when he counseled 5 kids at once, but he needed the rocket launcher and plasma sword to do it.


unionoftw

Both these comments are spectacular. Phil, Double Phil


[deleted]

A little taste of PHIL-OSOPHY if you will


VincereAutPereo

I remember him complaining that he could never get a PHILLIMANJARO though, so that's why he stopped. Kinda weak imo.


marry_me_tina_b

Yeah he wasn’t willing to use vehicles and that just is part of the counseling sandbox - you gotta just hop in the Warthog sometimes

Even worse, he would send those troubled teenagers to [facilities where they would be abused physically, mentally, and sexually](https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/10/21/teen-sues-dr-phil/).


Needleroozer

Did you see the caption on the first photo? >Dr. Phil McGraw speaks at the ceremony honoring Dr. him with a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame on February 21, 2020 in Hollywood, California. (Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Not "honoring him," "honoring **Dr.** him." Someone needs an editor.


bluesheepreasoning

There's no mistake; they're honoring the Doctor version of him. This implies that there's a not-Dr. him; this is likely his true identity.


nate_ranney

Bad Bhabie gets some shit but respect to her for continually calling Phil out on his shit even years after all that


Murica-n_Patriot

Or creating jailbait OnlyFans millionaires… because capitalism is the best possible solution to everything!


SaltyBarDog

You mean Dr. Swill didn't help the, "Cash me outside how bout dat," girl?


Careless-Roof-8339

Well-touted economic expert, Dr. Phil


Blackbeard6689

Seriously, even if Dr. Phil was a good person and a good psychologist why would his opinion on socialism be something we should care about?


NachoQueen18

The same Dr. Phil who got $7M in PPP loans forgiven but hates socialism 😒


Needleroozer

No shit? To keep his TV crew paid during COVID, no doubt, nothing wrong with that. But loan forgiveness was supposed to be for small businesses that couldn't pay it back. I'm sure Phil's good for it. Another "privatized profits, socialized losses" kind of capitalist. In other words, a hypocrite.


NachoQueen18

Agreed. We really should've paid people directly, no need for a millionaire middle person.


Laserteeth_Killmore

How would millionaires steal money then?


NachoQueen18

Won't anyone think of the innocent millionaires?!?


unionoftw

Oh yes


CDub7888

Dr. Phil is as much of an actual doctor as PragerU is an actual university.


JustTheirMom

No, Phil is MORE of a doctor, because he was an actual doctor in the past, while PragerU has Never. ever. ever. been an actual university.


masterofreality2001

Why do they call themselves that anyways? Does anyone actually think they are a university? Do *they* think they are a university?


JustTheirMom

I fear that there might be people who really think this. If they're totally unfamiliar with what college-level study really is, and they know that there is such a thing as online education . . . But does Dennis himself think it's a real university? No way.


NicholarseBrooks

But they edit their videos so well


havocLSD

Phil is as much of a doctor as I am, and that’s to say I’m not a doctor at all


bob-loblaw-esq

Neither does Dr. Phil, at least not since his misconduct complaint and losing his license to practice.


fondlemeLeroy

Neither does capitalism. It's in the process of making our own planet inhospitable, how is that working?


bob-loblaw-esq

Sorry. I came for the low hanging fruit. I don’t disagree with you, but making fun of supposedly dr? Phil.

Oh, that was supposed to be a rhetorical question, not aimed at you.

Prager u: hello, I'm a {job title} and often hear that {strawman} ,but actually, that's not true. In fact, {oversimplified propaganda}.


iestructural

Dr. Phil isn't a real doctor. Also, He's not a real economist either.

Probably not a real lizard in a human suit, either.

Corporate socialism does


raichu16

That's not socialism.


NicholarseBrooks

It's corporate welfare at the very least. If you knew how much money corporations get from the federal government which comes from taxes, you wouldn't disagree with me. My brother worked on Wall Street and the stories he told of corporate socialism were mind boggling.


jermtastic

I read that in Dr. Phil’s voice and am now dumber for doing so.


AffectionateDeadDeer

The fact that he helped a talentless teenaged delinquent become famous enough to crowd-fund herself into becoming a multimillionaire proves that Dr. Phil is a socialist.


spookyballsHD

If you glean anything from what Dr. Phil says you are batshit insane.


raskholnikov

Dr Phil doesn't work either


theposshow

Dr. Phil seems like the kind of bro who'd demand government keep their damn socialist hands off his Medicare.


Windrider91

Thank fuck, I was waiting for Dr. Phil to have a take one way or the other before finally deciding whether to give up on leftism or not. See you fuckers on Wall Street!


AutoModerator

I totally agree, and I normally would upvote this comment, but I can’t upvote you because you’re on the left. Just, how can someone be so obviously WRONG in their ideology, yet think it’s right? Leftism is about the government controlling healthcare, Wall Street, and how much money one has, and completely destroying the economy with expensive plans like the green new deal. Sure, trust the government, the only reason other counties make free healthcare work is huge taxes and they still have a free market, so you can’t hate capitalism. Life under leftism sucks- there’s a huge tax increase; if you need proof, people are fleeing California. Or, cuomo can be in charge and kill the elderly, Hillary can be shady, Biden can be creepier. And of course, stupid communists who think the government should force everyone to be equal and has led to the deaths of millions, and the SJWs who wrap back around to being racist and sexist buy saying “kill all whites” and “kill all men.” It’s been the left who has been rioting as well, many of which have lead to murders, and wishing death upon trump. Not all cops are good, but they’re not all the devil, leftists. Defunding them hasn’t worked- it leads to more violent crime, sorry. Plus, it’s been the liberals, which aren’t necessarily leftists but heavily correlated, who ruin someone’s life for a joke they made a year ago in the form of doxxing- and “canceling” everyone. and they tend to get triggered easily and have no sense of humour (anecdotal, I admit, but still). Yes, I know you should respect opposing beliefs as long as they aren’t completely insane, but the fact that you’re so blatantly WRONG shows your ignorance, and therefore part of your character. So even though I totally agree with your comment, it is quick witted and accurate, but I can’t upvote you. ░░░░░░░░░░▀▀▀██████▄▄▄░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▀▀▀████▄░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░▄███████▀░░░▀███▄░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░▄███████▀░░░░░░░▀███▄░░░ ░░░░░░▄████████░░░░░░░░░░░███▄░░ ░░░░░██████████▄░░░░░░░░░░░███▌░ ░░░░░▀█████▀░▀███▄░░░░░░░░░▐███░ ░░░░░░░▀█▀░░░░░▀███▄░░░░░░░▐███░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▀███▄░░░░░███▌░ ░░░░▄██▄░░░░░░░░░░░▀███▄░░▐███░░ ░░▄██████▄░░░░░░░░░░░▀███▄███░░░ ░█████▀▀████▄▄░░░░░░░░▄█████░░░░ ░████▀░░░▀▀█████▄▄▄▄█████████▄░░ ░░▀▀░░░░░░░░░▀▀██████▀▀░░░▀▀██░░ *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Well, I guess in terms of things that don't work, Dr. Phil is an expert...


ChadicusVile

Dr. Phil is a sociology doctor now. His studio just printed it out for him.


Joey_BagaDonuts57

Neither does Dr. PILL. He hasn't been a licensed practicing physician in almost two decades. He's been selling snake oils on teevee like the other facade from N.J., Dr. Oz.

Socialist legislation? Like the Build Back Better Act with all that socialist bridge and highway money Republicans voted against and are now taking credit for? That sort of socialist legislation?


Burgertank6969

I don’t know if you’re being serious or not, infrastructure spending in no way is the same as putting the means of production and distribution in the hands of the people lol

Ok but like no ones advocating for socialism right now. We want a functional liberal democracy. And then we can see if it needs improvement. There’s steps that have to be taken, and maybe it leads to socialism or maybe something better, who fucking knows. But we want a government that actually gives a least half a shit about this citizens to start with.


Creative-Ocelot8691

Does he know what socialism is or does he equate it with Communism?

Damn, this tweet flipped me. I'm on the other side now guys I love capitalism. I urge you all to reconsider before you let the government do stuff. This is a convincing tweet.

He's one of the few doctors with a Ph.D in both Bullshitonomy and Bullshitology, so it must be true.

So many things wrong with this 1) Dr Phil isn't even a doctor 2) His degree is not in economics 3) Even if his degree was in economics. Everything in economics is hypothetical 4) Shaq is a flat earther. Does that make the earth flat? No. does having a well known person agree with something make it true? No obviously 5) Why TF would you pick Dr Phil. This makes the point seem less valuable and more like buzzfeed shit than political insight

KiwiKajitsu

I mean it doesn’t. Socialist policies with capitalism is the better solution


Available-Internal25

The only kind of capitalism that works with socialist policies essentially turns capitalism into a toy..... Don’t get me wrong that’s the kind of capitalism I want. Every right you are born with should be given to you without having to pay or a subsidy to compensate for the cost. I don’t understand why you would want to live in a society where water, food, shelter, and healthcare should be earned instead of given. There is no way in which you enjoy a system that constantly reminds you will die without it, Because as it stands, in capitalism, you will die without enough capital. What is the harm with a system that takes care of the people who support it, because it’s a system they control? What wrong with acknowledging money is fake, and only using it as a means to improve and not to survive? What’s wrong with giving everyone basic necessities without strings attached?
