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 …

David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Kristin A. Meekhof
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 …David Gorski, MD, PhD added,
Kristin A. Meekhof @KristinMeekhofReplying to @gorskon @Interstitium1Dr.@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/fbscTMtDaz1 reply 2 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -

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 …David Gorski, MD, PhD added,
David Gorski, MD, PhDVerified account @gorskonI 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 …1 reply 2 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -

David Gorski, MD, PhDVerified account @gorskonReplying to @tx_rockstarIn 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.1 reply 2 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -
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 …David Gorski, MD, PhD added,
Deepak ChopraVerified account @DeepakChopra.@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

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 Esto!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
