Lindsay Lohan has blasted a celebrity doctor for claiming she is not sober.

Dr. Drew Pinsky - who hosts US reality TV show 'Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew' which treats famous people battling addictions - claimed in an interview Lindsay will not resolve her personal issues until she hurts herself, prompting the 'Mean Girls' actress to question his ethics.

She wrote on her Twitter page: "I thought REAL doctors talked to patients in offices behind closed doors. Am I wrong? Hmmmmm. I think NOT. Yay! (sic)"

Pinsky hinted Lindsay - who has completed three stints in rehab and pleaded guilty to cocaine use and no contest to driving under the influence (DUI) in 2007 - is still abusing substances, adding she is yet to "embrace" the cleaning up her life.

He told Parade magazine: "I'm convinced that she'll get sober one day. But I'm afraid that between now and then, she may get a nearly mortal wound of some type. I'm really convinced that something horrible is going to have to happen to her before she really gets over it and embraces sobriety.

"She needs to give it up. And it's going to be a while before she does. I have this image that she's going to lose a limb or something before she does. And it scares me."

This is not the first time Pinsky has enraged a celebrity.

Last year, he was forced to apologise to Tom Cruise when he publicly declared the actor must have emotional problems to be involved in the Scientology religion.
