How would this LOR work out?

[NNPham]

I worked for a psychiatrist as a personal assistant. Helped him organize and look up documents. Also helped him in reviewing/calculating numbers for his EEMHP (Effective Efficient Mental Health Program), which introduces shared medical appointments that could cut costs. I know him pretty well on a personal level, he invites me to his parties and dinners. I would like to get a LOR from him and I know he would gladly do it. The problem is he is of old age and is not very fond of technology. I usually do dictation for him. How would this work?

It is very common for docs to ask people to write their own LOR and then they review and sign it.

Isn't that a little weird? I feel that it wouldn't be genuine.

It's really common. I'm drafting the LoR for myself from my PI and he's going to edit it
