About the Author
Dr. Simon Kirby is a Canadian physician whose career has spanned engineering, otolaryngology, facial plastic surgery, pathology, and medical leadership. Following a catastrophic vertebral artery dissection and brainstem stroke that ended his surgical career, he undertook an extraordinary recovery journey that led to the development of his personal “smart neuroplasticity” framework.
