Sylvia Browne, as you’ll hear on the Montel show, habitually attempts to diagnose audience members’ medical problems. She often tells them what type of specialists they need to visit. Naturally she frequently misunderstands or confuses medical terms, conditions, symptoms;  because hers is the role of an alleged psychic entertainer, not a trained physician. Making declarative statements about peoples’ medical status and/or the type of specialist they should see, is both unethical and potentially very dangerous.

My prediction: one day she will get slapped with a medical lawsuit and it will stick.

Hopefully the suit won’t involve the loss of a life.
