Britney Spears to Remain at UCLA Medical Center
04 February 2008, Washington (By Mary Morningstar) -- In the early morning hours of January 31, Britney Spears was transported by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center. Reports indicate the 26-year-old singer will be kept in the hospital for a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric evaluation.
According to People magazine's web site, Spears' friend and manager Sam Lufti said, "She went willingly. It was like something in her heart was telling her she should go. She knew something was wrong."
Britney Spears was first hospitalized for observation in early January, but checked herself out after spending only two nights in the medical facility. Reports say the difference between the two hospitalizations is this time it was planned in advance by her psychiatrist, Dr. Deborah Nadel. Nadel can recommend a two-week stay at UCLA Medical Center, but patients rights workers will determine if an extension is legally justified.
