They did a show on people with stories about how Dr. Phil affected their lives.  A woman was on who complained to him that he "made her" miss her epidural.  She was apparently watching his show while in early labor, and didn't want to miss the end so she stayed home until it was over.  By the time she got to the hospital, they told her it was too late to get the epi.  Her baby was born two or three hours later.  What I found interesting was that she was obviously handling her labor fine until she found out she couldn't get her epi, but when they told her "no-go" she (and moreso her husband) freaked out and suddenly her labor was so terrible...they had no NCB preparation at all...but I digress.

Dr. Phil felt so bad for her that he gave her a huge flatscreen TV and a year of Tivo.  Robin talked about her epis during that segment.
