Tom Cruise needs to see a shrink, even though he doesn't believe in them.



Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, What is wrong with you? I used to love you, and now... I think that you are going crazy!

Sweetie, first of all, you said that psychiatry is a "pseudoscience", possibly ailenating people who need help from getting it because you are a big star, and what you say holds a lot of clout. And now, last night, on that horrible Barbara Walters "special" you tell the world that you have purchased a sonogram machine and that you, an untrained, non-medical person, are going to use it on your poor fiancee, Kate. The American College of Radiology is gonna be maaad at you!!!


"The ACR issued a statement warning that Cruise and Holmes could potentially harm their unborn baby by performing ultrasounds without the benefit of a doctor's supervision. "This is a patient safety issue. Untrained people, even if they have the financial means, should not buy, or be allowed to buy and operate, ultrasound machines which are, in fact, medical devices and should not be used without a medical indication," said Dr. Carol M. Rumack, chair of the ACR Ultrasound Commission.

"The ACR is concerned that Tom Cruise has been badly advised regarding the
use and potential abuse of ultrasound," Dr. Rumack stated. "There are many
abnormalities that may be missed by the untrained eye. Also, if it is not
medically necessary, the use of ultrasound raises unnecessary physical risk to
the fetus."



Tommy, my love, you need to get out of your scary cult-y scientology beliefs, and join us in the real world. there are plenty of rich people who don't act like jackasses, and you can be one of them. You even frightened Barbara during your interview with your admission of doing your own sonograms. "Wait, you are going to do your own sonogram?", She asked. "Yes," You giggled in response.

Please Tommy, use more common sense on these things. From now on, just because you can afford it, doesn't make it right. You could buy all of the Coke in Columbia, but should you... NO! The same goes for medical equipment, OK?
