His ability to do so is both timely and important. A peek inside.. Surety. His potential audience is at a critical juncture in medical-political development, particularly in the United States, and his impactful prose is already vitally felt by a growing number of readers. Each new essay challenges his readers to think and feel, taking on the varying perspectives of his challenging, endearing and beloved patients, and of family members of the ill or dying. His unique delivery is simple and eloquently succinct. Jordan's words deepen our understanding of the unwelcome, or sometimes welcome, arrival of Death.

Wonderfully Difficult Read. Jordan Grumet’s book, “I Am Your Doctor,” a collection of his blog posts, is a difficult yet pleasurable book to read. That may not seem like a beaming recommendation, but please hear me out. He is a wordsmith, with easy prose and a familiar tone that brings you into his confidence without it seeming uncomfortable. He tells stories of encounters with patients and their effect on him. He tells of the shared pain, between doctor and patient, when the healthcare system prevents what is necessary for good care.

Unfortunate. "Practicing and Living Relationship Medcine" according to Stephen C Schimpff, MD.

His book title - “I Am Your Doctor” - implies not a fact but a responsibi
