The discussion on my radio show today was about reality TV and the blurred lines between being a clinician and being an entertainer. Think Dr Drew Pinsky, Dr Laura, Dr Ruth, Dr Phil ( all first names, isn't that interesting). We all know that at one point they all had thriving practices that were truly helping people. As Benita pointed out today; what was the tipping point? What made them go from an appointment book full of addicted and abused patients to TV/radio personalities and does that jeopardize their credibility?
