Medical Misfit by Jalene Corbin

When individuals are desperately sick and their primary care physicians and specialists fail to render an accurate diagnosis, where do the patients go for help? If patients present symptoms that aren't typical textbook cases, whose responsibility is it to make certain that life-stealing health problems do not become life-threatening ones?

 In Medical Misfit, Doctor, Why Can't You Diagnose Me? Jalene Corbin addresses these questions and tells of being trapped on a medical merry-go-round when she encountered health problems that seemed to be experienced by only a small percentage of the population. Her true-story, first-person account, is presented in an unusual and riveting format that readers will find enlightening, entertaining, and very educational.

A lymph node infection, interstitial cystitis (IC), a systemic yeast infection, an incorrect diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, and sexual misconduct by a supposedly respected physician nearly destroyed her physically and emotionally. Readers will react with disbelief, outrage, and sympathy, undoubtedly fearing that they could find themselves in the same position. Or, perhaps, they are already there--desperate and slowly losing all hope of ever getting better. Without Jalene's faith, a loving husband, family members, supportive friends, and some God-placed caring physicians, she doesn't know how she could have gotten through each crisis.  The foreword to Medical Misfit was written by Dr. John Parks Trowbridge, M.D., FACAM. Among the many books that he has authored is The Yeast Syndrome, a proven best seller that helped, and is still helping, an untold number of patients.

Reviews and Quotes

"If you are interested in your own health--this book is a must!" G. A. Bixler, IP Book Reviewer

"...these medical experiences are all too common and, in my opinion, most could be prevented. Yeast overgrowth remains one of the most common reasons a patient presents himself or herself to my office for care." -Dr. Conan J. Shaw, B.S., D.C., C.N.C.

"Jalene shares valuable perspectives to enhance the wellbeing of you, your family, and your friends..." -John Parks Trowbridge, M.D., FACAM

"All things considered, it is an extremely difficult thing for a sexual assault victim to speak up against such a 'trusted, respected, pillar of the community' as a physician." -Dr. N. Douglas Wiegand, Ph.D., LPC

"The authoress laments her lack of initiative in not asserting herself more in regard to what she now knows. That calls for early education of all persons." -Ray C. Wunderlich, Jr., M.D., Ph.D.
