Welcome to my Tent

How does a neurosurgeon become an author? What do they write about? Gary Simonds is here to tell you!

We welcome Gary today into the tent to share his story about his start in medicine, his work in neurosurgery, what it is like to operate on the human brain, and his publications in both non-fiction and fiction. He writes about medical burnout and is passionate about working to help create ways to prevent it. 

His most recent publication, “Death’s Pale Flag”, is a medical and psychological thriller with paranormal twists. He draws in his background and real life experience with his interest in the paranormal into a novel that keeps you at the edge of your seat. My medical + suspense lovers, this one is for YOU!

Today I tackle a few of my most common:
1- How do you approach milestones with Ronan?
2-Why do you keep Ronan off social media and how did you make that decision?
3-How do you keep a fitness schedule consistent?
4-How do you get into a better routine with reading? I want to read more but can’t fit it in.
5-How do you support someone you love going through grief or infertility?

I answer it. I go on some larger life connections to these questions. I give my thoughts.
