I'm going to say what I said about Chopra after he did his piece on
Maharishi immediately after he died last year.
Recall that Chopra revealed private stuff about Maharishi's sickness
at a time when Chopra was actually his formal physician (about 20
years ago). And death does not sever the patient/doctor
confidentiality yet here was Chopra -- without consent from
Maharishi's estate -- revealing personal medical info about Maharishi.
I am convinced if someone wanted to pursue it, they could have
successfully lodged a formal complaint against Chopra for violating
that confidentiality.
I don't know if it's the same case here but Chopra is quite quick
off the starting block to share intimate stuff about Jackson...and
if Chopra was in any official capacity a counsellor, doctor or
adviser to Jackson he very well may be violating that same
confidentiality again by some of the stuff he writes in this article.
I didn't see anything that looked confidence-violating
in what he wrote. Looked pretty much like just
reflections to me.
I take it you're not a big Chopra fan, shemp.
