I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, with Dr. Jack Forbush, explores how the old, obsolete system affected one physician’s life. Then, what he did about it. If you’re in the same boat, or a resident wondering about life after residency, this show is for you.

Dr. Leigh “Jack” Forbush is a graduate of Eastern Maine Medical Center’s Family Medicine Residency Program and Fellowship in Neuromuscular Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine having obtained his medical degree at Maine’s prestigious University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Providing the full spectrum of family medical including Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Geriatrics and Obstetrics, his particular areas of interest include Integrative and Holistic Medicine, applying the principles of Osteopathy across the age spectrum and the incorporation of information technology in medicine.

Each year, he travels to Paraguay offering his services to the Andrea Ritz Foundation caring for (and enjoying the company of) Guarani of all ages.
