About Gary Simonds
I am a neurosurgeon who has cared for tens of thousands of critically ill patients. I created and headed a neurosurgery department and residency training program at Virginia Tech. I have retired from surgery and now predominantly teach - neuroscience, healthcare socioeconomics, ethics, and more to undergraduates and medical students at Virginia Tech. I have written three non-fiction books on burnout and building resilience and recently released a novel entitled Death's Pale Flag (a medical/psychological thriller in which a brain surgeon comes unravelled upon encountering a series of ghosts). I have three other novels in preparation. I am an accomplished speaker on a host of subjects - particularly anything neuroscience and/or healthcare-related, writing, getting into healthcare graduate schools, medical socioeconomics, burnout and wellness, education, ethics, humanism, healthy living, effective communicating, leadership, death and dying, the paranormal, and science and spirituality. I am known for my ability to speak extemporaneously and my humor and empathy. I have been interviewed by a number of literature, healthcare, and paranormal radio shows and podcasts. Right now, I am particularly interested in discussing my books, writing in general, burnout, wellness, communications, and leadership. I write regular blogs for Psychology Today Online and am putting out a number of short videos on healthcare, burnout, and medical education. New Jersey born, I now live in the mountains of North Carolina. My hobbies include hiking with my wife and border collie, writing, and playing the guitar and banjo. I am planning to teach myself the bagpipes in 2024.
