Dr. Sattar is truly gifted with the ability to teach pathology. His teachings not only provide a deep understanding to the underlying processes in these disease states but are also easy to understand. Top tier and excellent study material
Incredible! Where Dr. Sattar excels is his ability to teach difficult pathological processes by breaking them down to simple core principles and themes that often present themselves time and time again in medicine. “And what happens when you have a stone that blocks a tube? You get infection building up behind that block.” Dr. Sattar also organizes material really well which helps build common ideas on top of one another. These two strategies alone helped me learn more than half the material being tested by pure understanding and not memorizing. Truly the Bible of pathology.
Dr. Sattar manages to convey the most important aspects of pathology in an absolutely understandable way in just under 200 pages. A must-read for medical students and anyone interested in pathology.
One of the greatest study resources. Has the highest yield facts for your hematology course as well as step 1. The videos are great as well. Went through the whole book 3 times prior to step1. Highly recommend!
Dr. Sattar is wonderful, and the way he breaks down complex subjects is genius, but I’ll give it 5-stars when I pass my Pathology final exam on Thursday 😂
Read this book at least twice through (+ the 35 hours of videos). STEP1 is less than a week out for me (1/25/25) - Dr Sattar is phenomenal but I will be happy to shelve this book and not look at it again (until maybe STEP2 at least).
A must read for pre-clinical medical students. High-Yield material.
A side note - the phase "high yield" invokes the same feelings in me as "the MCAT is hard and the MCAT is important" - all my medical student peers knows the exact fight-or-flight response I am invoking here.
lol I was thinking of step 1 as depression and step 2 as anger as like the steps of grief, but man I gotta be grateful despite regressing further to the mean lol idk I'm betterrrrrr lollll, someone said I look like the author
