MINNEAPOLIS—A 22-year-old Minnesota man is suing producers of a "Dr. Phil" television spinoff, saying he was tricked into discussing blemishes on his penis.
Tyler Bowling of Lakeville also accuses the CBS-distributed show "The Doctors" of airing a rerun of the segment despite his protests. Bowling tells the Star Tribune he felt violated.

Bowling says he agreed to do the show in Hollywood in exchange for free laser surgery to remove pearly penile papules. The whitish bumps are non-contagious and harmless.

Bowling says he was told the show would only be seen by medical students. When he learned that wasn't the case, he says he was cajoled into doing it.

Bowling also says the procedure didn't work.

Representatives for the television show and the doctor had no comment Tuesday.

7. I've always wondered why people who do shows like that
And I always suspected that it was in exchange for treatment for whatever condition was involved.

Just another reason to fix the fucked up health care system in the whole fucking world so people don't have to undergo humiliation in order to get treatment.
