“Incredibly moving and extraordinary”
The Frontier Psychiatrists is created by Owen Scott Muir, M.D. It is not boring as a goal and about health and it’s care as a topic. It’s reading for decision-makers. I would hope this is all of us.
At this point, virtually all of it is written by one person. There is some editing that others help with, because I have atrocious ADHD and dyslexia, which makes my writing require some editing.
It is not written by a robot. If there is content written by a robot, I will let you know it is!
I have a few books already on my Amazon store
Freemium: The Frontier Psychiatrists (a Newsletter).
Health and care related writing. New posts are free. Many of the older posts are paid. The publication is daily.
Free: The Frontier Psychiatrists (a Podcast).
It’s a podcast. Some of it is content from the newsletter, and some of it is not.
Paid: The Wizard of Odds
Is paid member content….It is a parody of the Wizard of Oz….but about healthcare. Yes, I’m doing the whole book.
Paid: The Palantir of the Discoverable
This is a parody fanfiction seven newsletter about legal discovery in the aftermath of the fall of Sauron. Artificial intelligence did help with this content for structure, but it has been heavily edited to turn it funnier material. I am a compliance enthusiast, but I will make less enemies by writing a parable about Compliance in the fictional world of the lord of the rings than I would about real companies.

Most healthcare writing is boring. Even more of it is polite. Neither of those things is likely to be true here.
