أفضل كتاب علم أمراض من وجهة نظري. والمقاطع الصوتية لجوليان كلام ثاني.
يعيشك بجو فعلاً مختلف. الكتاب مختصر لكنه يعطيك كل الأشياء المهمة لكل الأمراض تقريباً.
حتى فيه أمراض ليست موجودة في كتاب روبنز. هو خليط بين كتاب باطنة وعلم أمراض.
الأشياء المهمة جداً يكتبها لك على جنب. لغته أسهل بكثير من روبنز ومباشرة جداً.
الصور التي فيه قوية جداً وبالغالب ماراح تحصل أفضل منها. لكنه شحيح بالصور للأسف.
طبعاً هو المرجع الأساسي لعلم الأمراض لاختبار هيئة التخصصات الطبية الأمريكية USMLE.

I've read from so many pathology books ,but this is exceptional....the best Basis medical sciences book I've ever used,,well organized and explained ...Its tables and figures are amazing ...the pictures(although not as much as Robbins ones) but they are amazing ...concentrates on laboratory medicine .
It's the king.
I've tried some audios for dr edward goljan, they are good ...but the book is more than enough.

Edward Goljan is pretty much a god in my book. I would not have gotten through Step 1 without this book, or without his audio.
