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/ …

Replying to @gorskon @DeepakChopra
Dr.
@DeepakChopra isn't my boss. In 2007 I was 33 when my beloved husband died from adrenal cancer. I reached out to Deepak b/c he's a FACP doc. His friendship & support over the years has helped me to heal. For this I remain grateful & All love to you. Lux Esto1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
