I was an RN at National Jewish for 23 years. When I started in the Adult Clinic in 1989, I was hired by the Occupational Medicine MD's to cover their clinic 1 day/week, & then I covered the "Rotating MD's" the other 4 days of the week. The "Rotating MD's" were attending MD'S who covered in the adult clinic for 1 month at a time to help lessen the back log of out of state patients. Dr. Iseman was one of the Rotating MD's, and what a rare priviledge it was to get to know him professionally as well as personally. He was the consumate practitioner, so very valued & appreciated by his patients because he treated them in such a down to earth, kind, and calming manner. He taught me so very much. He often tried to get me to work on 2 Goodman, but I was hooked on Occupational Medicine. Years later toward the end of my time at National Jewish, I helped cover the Infectious Disease Clinic, & Dr. Iseman would be in clinic on occasion. We would reminisce about our time together in the Rotating MD Clinic & remember fondly the patients we shared ~ and he would again try to recruit me to 2 Goodman. I will remember him always as the gentle giant of a doctor who exuded healing wherever he went no matter who he was with. I was deeply saddened to hear not only of his passing, but that it occured on the same month & date as my dear husband ~ on 11/20, but my husband died of metastatic lung cancer in 2008. I've thought about Dr. Iseman often since I left National Jewish in 2010. He left his mark on both the professionals he worked with, as well as the hundreds of patients and their families he so kindly served over the span of his great career. There will never be another Dr. Iseman. I know I was forever be touched by the unique way he practiced medicine and will always fondly remember him. My heart goes out to you, his dear family. I can only vaguely imagine the loss you are enduring in his absence. I will pray that you may find peace in his precious memory and solace in the many lives he touched over his truly remarkable lifetime. I found a quote from an Eskimo legend shortly after my husband died that I have always treasured ~ I hope it helps you feel a bit closer to Dr. Iseman. "Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy." I've found amazing comfort in star gazing since my husband's passing. It is my sincere hope that you, his dear family, will also find solace in the stars.

My deepest condolences to Dr. Iseman's family. He was an expectional human! Full of compassion and empathy. Dr. Iseman walked beside me and my family during a long, painful health journey. He always took time to listen, answer questions and provide support. Dr. Iseman even came in to do my treatment on Christmas Day so his nursing staff could be home with their families. I want to thank his family for supporting him as he supported others. He had such a big heart and love for patients and those he worked with. I will never forget Dr. Iseman! He will always hold a special place in my heart.

I did not know Dr. Iseman but he was a friend of my brother in law Neil Westphal and my knew him too. When Steve was diagnosed with ARDS he spoke with Neil and called me at the hospital to relay things to our ID people. Helped save his life and I was eternally grateful for 15 more years with Steve although he passed in 2019. I am so sorry for his loss and with him his kindness to me. I will never forget that. Thank you for your service in the Navy and your profession.

I had the privilege of working with Mike at NJ for many years as an RN: Head Nurse on the TB unit and later as the coordinator of the ID consult service. He was brilliant, funny, kind, thoughtful, and a gentleman at all times. No other physician I ever worked with in my 50+ year career was ever as supportive of me as a nurse. He set the most amazing example of mutual respect. I will never forget him. Blessings of peace and comfort to his family.

I worked with Mike at National Jewish for many yrs as a Social Worker. He was by far the most compassionate human being and his patients loved him.
He made huge contributions to the medical community in tuberculosis.
I will never forget him!
My peace hug your hearts and hold it gently...
