  Ok here's the deal. Honestly, I think Goljan is absolutely brillant, but this book is wayyyyyyyyy too dense to learn from. It is practicaly impossible to remember everything from this book.

  I recommend using this book AFTER you have taken a Pathology course, and read a more detailed text book such as Robbins Basic Pathology. I say this because the concepts are covered in point format,and the book integrates a lot of other topics like pharmacology, biochemistry, physiology and embryology which may make one feel a bit overwhelmed.
  I do recommend using this book to study ... Read More
