Dr. Phil appeared on The View today, coincidently enough the same morning that Britney Spears was taken to the hospital for the second time this month.

Spears is being held on a “5150″ which allows hospital personnel to keep her there for up to 72 hours because she has been found to be a danger to herself and/or others. However, there’s a possibility that it could be extended for up to 14 days.

When asked if he was surprised to hear that Spears had been taken to the hospital again Dr. Phil replied, “Well, frankly no. I don’t think it surprises anybody. All I’ve ever tried to do is help in this situation. I’ve always felt like and had offered to the family to help to get her into the hands of the right kind of professionals.”

“If that starts on the road to getting some intervention then that’s a good thing,” Dr. Phil added.

Regarding the controversy surrounding his visit to Spears last time she was in the hospital Dr. Phil said, “How can you not help when a fellow parent calls?” He was of course referring to the call he got from Spears’ mom, Lynne Spears.

I wouldn’t sit by the phone waiting for it to ring this time Dr. Phil!
