  • #51 Dr Evan Longin Again - Evil Gets Elected
    Nov 20 2024

    How did this happen? Are people inherently bad? Friend of the show, psychologist Dr. Evan Longin returns to discuss his book The Roots of Evil, what makes someone evil, and how to deal with that in ever day life. We also talk about my long standing theory on people. Whether we are inherently bad by nature and therefore prone to this behavior. The Healthcare Horror Stat of the Week begins what might be the most depressing episode in the history of this podcast and it's brought home with a Mental Health Tip of the Day to try to bring some relief.

  • #50 Everyone's Back - 2024 Election and Tua's Brain
    Nov 7 2024

    It took Trump's surprise win to pull me out of mothballs after two month to finally come back and record a podcast, but it was too much to stay away since everyone's been asking for a psychiatrists opinion on what happened this week. I give my take on the election results and also on Tua Tagovailoa's traumatic brain injury from last month and how I view doctor's role in advising players on returning to games. Your Mental Health Tip of the Day may be something you need in this moment of uncertainty, or you can just go hide.
