After 17 years as a doctor at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, Dr. Laura Liberman was diagnosed with cancer and treated at her hospital. This memoir, organized as a collection of emails (an epistolary format with a modern twist), captures the surreal experience of being both a cancer doctor and a cancer patient, a scenario that resembles being in a play in which you know all the lines but you’re reading the wrong part. Candid and humorous, I Signed as the Doctor will inspire the general reader, give insight to the 12 million people worldwide diagnosed with cancer each year, and inform doctors how to better care for individuals with cancer, all from the unique perspective of a cancer doctor surviving cancer.
