DR. BROTHERS HURT WHILE DOG-SLEDDING

Psychologist Dr. Joyce Brothers wanted an authentic Alaskan experience, and she got one - suffering a broken nose, chipped teeth and a concussion in a fall during a dog-sled ride.

The 66-year-old columnist and TV host was treated at a hospital and left town Sunday, canceling a lecture Tuesday at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts.

``It was a freak accident,'' Brothers said in a telephone interview from her office in Fort Lee, N.J. She said a dentist had bonded her teeth and a plastic surgeon told her she won't need nose surgery.
