Jalene shares valuable experience such as:

How untold numbers of people are living their lives in unnecessary pain—perhaps because they have been convinced that they are hypochondriacs.

 Where individuals who are desperately sick without a diagnosis—or doubt the diagnosis of their primary care physicians—can go for help.

 Why doctors are often too quick to diagnose an illness based on neat textbook cases, rather than investigating other more obscure possibilities.

 Why it is not unusual for it to take from one to five years to diagnose a lesser-known disease.

The emotional effects suffered suffered by a patient who has been sexually abused by a physician.

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.  Visit his web site:  www.healthchoicesnow.com
