Having read the guy's name only in print I am a little curious as how to say the it properly. Is it goal-jan or goo-li-on? Or maybe neither of those, does anyone know?

It's either GOAL-jan or GOAL-yawn depending on whether you're using the Armenian or Polish pronunciation. Dr. Goljan favors GOAL-yawn, however, others in his family prefer GOAL-jan.

This is correct. He explains this in one of his lectures (GI, I believe).

It is funny how after listening to those lectures several times you actually feel like you know the guy personally.

his wikipedia says he's at OSU med school in Oklahoma. Would he mind sharing his wisdom if I visited him?

This is so true. It feels as if he is so much among us. He's A W E S O M E.

I concur. My most recent path exam was the first one that I hadn't had time to read much or listen to any Gol-G. It just wasn't the same without him. Since then I've become the biggest Goljan fanboy. 👍

There you have it, OP. I go with Gol-yan. Think Trevel-yan from Goldeneye, but with emphasis towards the end. He's also of Armenian ancestry, so that screams Gol-yan too.

And yes, he is certainly a deity from another planet who is gracing us lost medical souls with his presence. Praise the Lord Papi.

"He is among us"... This is so funny, guys.

... I agree. Isn't it crazy he had ALS at one point ?!

I personally think he was bluffing about ALS. He said he believed in miracles as he was cured of it ! I doubt ...

You think an established pathology professor and physician is going to bluff about having been diagnosed with ALS in the past?
