      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Kristin A. Meekhof

      I've thought about it overnight. I'd be a lot more open to the idea if Ms. Meekhof hadn't decided, instead of contacting me privately, to try to shame me in public in response to post critical of the @interstitium1 and Neil Neides. Let's recap. 1/https://twitter.com/KristinMeekhof/status/981594676305244160 …

      Dr. @gorskon are you willing to speak with Dr. @DeepakChopra in person when your schedule permits time?

      Here's @KristinMeekhof's Tweet from yesterday. She clearly meant this to sound as though my reason for not attending was frivolous and I was dodging. 2/https://twitter.com/KristinMeekhof/status/981582095880474624 …

      Dr. @gorskon you were invited on 3/21/17 to meet with @DeepakChopra & if I recall correctly you said you were too busy. Thank you though for letting me send you a copy of @DeepakChopra 's book "You Are The Universe " . I hope you enjoyed reading it. All the best! pic.twitter.com/fbscTMtDaz

      Here was my response. @KristinMeekhof knew that this was the reason I was not able (or, more properly, was unwilling to race like a maniac straight from work to Warren and probably arrive late) to attend Dr. Chopra's book talk. She didn't mention it. 3/https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/981588969325547521 …

      I was indeed too busy—as I recall, too busy operating on breast cancer patients all day and realizing that I'd be too tired by the end of the day to feel up to rushing straight from work to this event. A full day in the OR takes a lot out of me. Thanks for the invite, though. https://twitter.com/KristinMeekhof/status/981582095880474624 …

      In fairness, the original invite was by email by Kristin. I told her right off the bat that that was my operating room day and I doubted that I could make it. Even if I were to finish in time to make it, I'm frequently exhausted after a day in the OR. Must be getting old.

      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Deepak Chopra

      Also, @KristinMeekhof's boss @DeepakChopra chimed in thusly. Note that he is not particularly kind here. Also, given his quoting my Tweet instead of simply replying to it, I can't help but wonder if some of his intent was to sic his followers on me. 5/https://twitter.com/DeepakChopra/status/981589112422453248 …

      . @gorskon prefers to attack from afar . Maybe fearful of engaging in direct dialog . I would ignore him and wish him well . His career and identity seem to built on being a one man committee for the suppression of curiosity and advancement in science 🙏🏽 https://twitter.com/kristinmeekhof/status/981577599834099712 …

          I then remembered that this is not the first time Dr. Chopra has behaved this way. I remembered what happened to Tim Caulfield. 8/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/deepak-chopra-timothy-caulfield-twitter-1.3953538 …

          Yes, ultimately Dr. Chopra apologized, and that is to his credit. Even so, he said some pretty nasty stuff, at one point implying that Caulfield was drunk. 9/https://twitter.com/DeepakChopra/status/824489462247948292 …

          This isn't even the first time Dr. Chopra has lashed out over criticism. He did a video after Tim Caulfield and I had both written critical posts about his appearance. 11/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/11/07/deepak-chopra-likes-me/ …

          I also note that, not once, ever, has Dr,.Chopra ever deigned to contact me personally. His only contact with me has been through Tweets attacking me and that video in the Tweet above. The only direct contact with anyone in his organization I've had is with @KristinMeekhof.12/

          It's almost as though Dr. Chopra doesn't view me as his equal and therefore leaves all the "dirty work" of contacting me to his underling. I was polite about it a year ago, perhaps overly so, but it rankles, particularly now that @KristinMeekhof is using the offer against me. 13/

          It's almost as though Dr. Chopra only wants me to show up as a foil for a "debate" on friendly ground, where the audience came to see him and not me. @MichaelShermer or @BillNye might like such situations, but I'm not Shermer or Nye. 14/

          If Dr. Chopra is serious about wanting a dialogue, let him start it in private. If the private dialogue ends up fostering trust, only then would I consider taking it public. Given Dr. Chopra's past behavior, I have a hard time trusting him enough just to say yes on Twitter. 15/

          Finally, if @DeepakChopra, @KristinMeekhof, or anyone working for Dr. Chopra publicly uses this Tweetstorm to try to portray me as "afraid" of debate, my answer will go from "let's start talking privately and see where things go" to a hard "no." 16/
