Sam Lutfi was reportedly not playing nice with Britney Spears parents, Lynne Spears and Jamie Spears. TMZ is reporting that following Brit’s January 3, 2008 hospitalization, she had her lawyer draft a document giving Lutfi control of medical decisions. He stepped in early this morning and things got ugly before doctor’s opted to work with Brit’s parents rather than Lutfi. He reportedly left the UCLA facility at 4:00a.m. – and he wasn’t pleased to be odd man out.

According to reports, Britney is currently being held for 72 hours. If she refuses medication, doctor’s can extend that commitment period to 14 days, and forcibly administer medications.

Tension at UCLA Medical Center was reportedly heated between Spears parents and Lutfi on what course of treatment was best for the troubled celebrity. Brit’s parents, after consulting an attorney, have apparently gained back control and doctor’s are working with the parents in treating their daughter. Jamie and Sam apparently got into a shoving contest early this morning before Brit’s pal headed for the hills.

Sad commentary that even with Britney finally in a medical facility, those who are supposed to love her most can’t seem to get on the same page regarding her medical care. Is it any wonder this poor woman has deteriorated so badly?

Photos from early this morning show Lynne Spears in the same car with Adnan Ghalib and another showing them walking into the hospital together. It appears that Lynne has joined alliances with Britney’s boyfriend, and sees Sam Lutfi as a threat to her daughter.
