Triaging...more pulmonary phys or pathophys?

I'm trying to figure out what books to go over, and generally I'm weak in pulmonary things, so I might try to go over either physiology or pathophysiology (I have one book for each).

I don't want to spend too much time, though. Which one is more high yield, do you think?

Thanks in advance!

With respiratory you really have to know the phys in order to understand most of the pathology though. You're not going to understand obstructive vs restrictive lung diseases and the findings in each without knowing the phys behind it.

Try starting with the respiratory section in BRS phys and then go from there.
