Goljian spends a ton of time on hematology (8 lectures on audio, 5 chapters in RR), and there is a LOT more detail in his book than in FA, and a lot of stuff that he goes over isn't in FA at all, or is mentioned with no detail. Can anyone who's taken the test recently comment on whether they think FA is sufficient, or if I should focus on RR?

I haven't taken the exam yet, but RR Path helped me understand Heme (anemias, thalassemias, etc) much better than class lectures did. Personally, I'm going to use RR Path for all things path/pathophys (clinical) regardless of system, esp. since USMLE is path/pathophys heavy.
Goljan's subspecialty is hemepath so this is not shocking.
Why do I care? He's good for everything, not just Hematology.
