Phil McGraw, better known under his stage name Dr. Phil, is a retired US-American psychologist and host of the eponymous Dr. Phil Show.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Having dreamed of becoming a psychologist since his childhood days, McGraw followed the usual American path of getting himself into university with a football scholarship and earned himself a Ph.D. in 1976. He spent some fourteen years working as a more-or-less regular headshrinker until he founded Courtroom Sciences, Inc. - a trial consulting firm telling legal clients how to properly bullshit the court.
McGraw's actual rise of fame started when he and his company came to advise Oprah Winfrey in a food libel case. Oprah was left so impressed that she made McGraw a regular at her own show; and before long, McGraw launched his own Dr. Phil show - becoming the nation's televised advice auntie that tackles real or perceived psychological problems with the tactfulness of a an industrial meat grinder.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Dr. Phil fought in 8chanmania LXVIII. He immediately recognized a deeply traumatized patient when he ran into Niko Bellic, but the good doctor's idiosyncratic approach to mental healthcare only resulted in Niko's trauma still being there and Dr. Phil going home with physical trauma instead.
