	Pathology Review (Saunders Text and Review Series) by: Edward F. Goljan publisher: W.B. Saunders Company, published: 1998-05 ISBN: 0721670245 sales rank: 167683 Product Description College of Osteopathic Medicine of Oklahoma State Univ., Stillwater. Concise outline summarizing key information from each chapter in the parent text by the same author: Pathology. Contains: 350 USMLE-style questions, a practice exam, and over 100 illustrations. Softcover. DNLM: Pathology--Examinations, questions, etc. Review I recommend this to everyone who is preparing for USMLE examinations. It is a very good book. Everybody who is preparing usmle knows this is "THE book" for pathology becuse is medicine oriented ;but I remember when I took the class with him(Goljian) he mention about a new book more clinically oriented he was preparing I allredy pass all the steps(with good grades) but I would like to have a new book from him I am so grateful to have near Goljan's Path Review. Although it has an outline format it is a lot more complete than others.....concise, to the point. As a reader you almost feel as if someone is by your side taking your hand and explaining WHY certain things happen the way they do.
	High-Yield Pathology (High-Yield Series) by: Ivan Damjanov publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2005-01-01 ISBN: 078179899X sales rank: 407116 Product Description Now in its Second Edition, High-Yield(TM) Pathology provides a concise, intensely focused review of pathology for course exams and the USMLE Step 1. The most important information is presented in an uncluttered outline format, with numerous line drawings and tables, NB (Nota Bene) boxes highlighting pathology pearls, and hundreds of review questions. This edition has been fully updated and includes a new High-Yield Glossary of Terms at the end of the book. Review I found this book pretty helpful. If you buy it, don't expect and exhaustive review. It's goal is to go over the very basics. I used it during pathology at the beginning, when I was first learning things and was a bit overwhelmed by Robbins. HY pathology is easy to read, with clear diagrams. What it does right: Very easy to read, info is organized well when present. Very simple (good and bad). What it does wrong: Overly simple and severely lacking in critical info necessary to differentiate pathologies. Not enough pathology present. Insufficient for USMLE. Conclusion: This book does not live up to its claim at all. It is NOT useful for USMLE prep or course work. It IS useful to quickly review generalizations of topics possibly before learning them in detail, but the book lacks so much detail, you could never study from it. Simple is good for quick refreshers (you can read this book in a few hrs) - but Goljan RR path is the Gold standard for pathology. Only buy this book if path intimidates you and you want to get a jump on it before you become and MSII. I question its usefulness in a medical school path course (as the author claims it was written for) bc you could barely diagnose typical community acquired pneumonia with the info in this book.

	Word Book in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine by: Sheila B. Sloane, John L. Dusseau MA publisher: Saunders, published: 1995-01-15 ISBN: 0721640400 sales rank: 711582 Product Description Second edition of a handbook for medical transcriptionists and secretaries. Previous edition 1984. By the author of two Brandon/Hill Allied Health selections. DNLM: Pathology terminology. Review I have had this book for 5+ years and use it constantly. I have been telling other MTs that this is the lab book to have. Appendix 2 with eponymic diseases and syndromes is a lifesaver. I was going to order the latest edition, and was surprised to see I have the latest, from 1995. If they update it, I'll order it - mine is starting to fall apart. I ordered this book used. Unfortunately it was out of stock leaving me very disappointed. Waiting to see if another used book is available. I use this book everday at work. THE BOOK LOOKS LIKE AN EXCELLENT ONE TO USE FOR REFERENCE GUIDE,THE ONLY PROBLEM IS, IT'S HARD TO FOLLOW THE VOCABULARY OR THE LOOK-UP PAGES. I'M HAVING PROBLEM FOLLOWING WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR, VERY CONFUSING. I'M HOPING THEY HAVE GUIDELINE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PAGE ON HOW TO READ THIS BOOK.THANKS
