Proyecto Biblia¿Dios nos deja caer en la tentación?La oración de Jesús E5 – Al final de su oración, Jesús hace un último pedido personal. Muchos lo conocemos como: "No nos dejes caer en la tentación, mas libranos del mal". ¿Pero acaso Dios nos deja caer en la tentación? En este motivo literario que se entreteje en toda la Biblia hebrea, vemos que Dios permite pruebas para fortalecer su relación con los seres humanos. Cuando este tema aparece en el Evangelio de Mateo, Jesús es quien enfrenta las pruebas. En este episodio, Tim, Jon y Michelle exploran la temática de la prueba...

The Frontier PsychiatristsThe Mystery of Machine Gun KellyMy readers and listeners know that this project, The Frontier Psychiatrists, is daily. Sometimes, I don't get the thing done till the end of the day. Today is one of those days. I was running on empty when it came to narrative this morning, so I decided to try to make a podcast. One of the tricky things about these more experimental days is that I don't know if the story is going to work. It's like walking a tightrope. I'll choose something— anything— to write about. And today I decide to make it even more difficult for myself, beca...

The Frontier PsychiatristsFirst BreaksThe Frontier Psychiatrists didn’t start as a newsletter. It began as a clubhouse room, with friends like @Psych Fox and Michelle Bernabe, RN joining myself and Carlene MacMillan, MD for audio-only conversations. Even before that, I was a bit podcast-obsessed. I won a grant to record podcasts about self-disclosure among health professionals at NYU—the Rudin Fellowship in Ethics and Humanities. This episode is built on a recording from that era—2017—with Gillian Waldorf, Ph.D. This is what I looked like way back in college:She is a classmate of mine from Amherst College, and we were...

The Frontier PsychiatristsI Explained The Pandemic To Myself: Episode 4I’m Owen. This week of posts is different from the usual…it’s a bit of an origin story for this newsletter, The Frontier Psychiatrists. It’s a daily health-themed newsletter by Imperfectionist physician Owen Scott Muir, M.D. There is a podcast (this), videos, a therapy training book, chapters in other therapy manuals, some poetry books, a live event in January, and even a brain-stimulation first clinic in NYC where your depression can be treated in an open-label clinical trial—to remission in 79% of people—without drugs or talk therapy.How did all this come to be? That...

The Frontier PsychiatristsI Explained the Pandemic To Myself: Episode 3The Frontier Psychiatrists is a health-themed newsletter and podcast. It’s a little bit of a media empire; there is a YouTube channel, Instagram, TikTok, and music I do over on Spotify up top. This article is a bit of a meta-article on my journey, with historical audio as reference material.I’m Owen Scott Muir, M.D., and I’m prolific, if nothing else. My first pass, as it were, at content creation was more plodding because podcasts—after music—were my first love. I consider myself an imprefectionist, now. This is a maxim for me—the...

The Frontier PsychiatristsPandemic Time Capsule Podcast: March 20th, 2020This podcast was recorded over the course of the pandemic, and this is the very first episode. A lot of what I saw in real time ended up being prescient in retrospect. I went back and listened to it recently, and decided it was worth sharing with my readers and listeners. I hope you enjoy it, as a historical artifact at least. As a production note, all of it was recorded by me, edited by me, written by me, etc. It was only me around. Because it was a pandemic. So who else was gonna do it? This is...

Moral HealthThe Fifth Vital Sign: Moral Health Pt. 1The Sackler family - a name that resonates through the chilling caverns of the opioid crisis, their legacy a symbol of the suffering that has descended upon countless lives. But in this bleak tableau, they inadvertently unveiled a critical paradigm we'd previously overlooked in healthcare: the role of pain as the fifth vital sign.Now, let's reclaim this revelation. Instead of quantifying the fifth vital sign as physical pain, let's assess something that the Sacklers seemed to have tragically mislaid: a moral compass. Welcome to an era where 'vital signs' take on a deeper, more profound significance...

Moral HealthThe Health Paradox: How Our World Shapes Our Well-beingDear Moral Health Readers,As a nurse, I've come to understand that comprehensive health—encompassing both physical and mental well-being—requires us to consider the broader picture. We must truly zoom out. If you've been following Moral Health’s work, you might be under the impression that it's solely about individual change—transform yourself to transform the world. Here, I'd like to add a layer of complexity to that narrative. The best things in life are often paradoxes. Our health isn't merely about us as individuals; it's equally about the complex network of external factors that shape our well...

Moral HealthMeet Virginia: A Mentor's Unconventional Teachings in a NYC Psychiatric Emergency RoomAs I eagerly first stepped into the bowels of the New York City Hospital, a disquieting dissonance washed over me. This city, so known for its ceaseless dance of lights and unabashed extravagance, seemed a world away from the hospital's dimly lit corridors and the stifling air of abandonment that pervaded its halls. How could a place so vital to the health of a city so vibrant be so disheartening and forlorn?The staff, visibly strained from overwork and underappreciation, teetered on the edge of breaking. The equipment surrounding us seemed like relics of a bygone era...

Moral HealthBig Love[I wrote this poem on my last day as a full-time nurse in a psychiatric emergency room in new york city.]"You Kind Of Had To Be There"—It was a big love. It was late-night stories and early-morning banter kind of love. The kind of love that is a divine disruption to your reality. The kind of love that keeps you up till 730am. The kind of love that has you endlessly asking open-ended questions. The kind of love that is constantly confronting you with how lucky you are. The kind of lov...
