Keep going smiling face........I havent watched micro dvds, altho i tried to but the first 2hrs just made me believe more strongly what my colleagues told me about....it is not useul......but i'll try to to listen viro and see if it helps?

Regarding my update: have started with gen patho from 2nd edition goljan this time...need to grab these things by the mid of next week! Genetics and immunopatho will take some of my time......

Lets continue working hard and praying to the Almighty for His Blessings! Thats the only BEST way FORWARD!

Hai KG and dowjunk

it depends on how you put things in your nuts.

For me seeing agars again and again reinforces microbiology otherwise simple plain rote memorization will probably well not my type even when he mentions Hamburger well thats what they will mention in exam instead of undercooked meat. God knows when they will mention unpasteurised milk. ADD HAMBURGER in your KLN.


Happy studying all.

Just wana explain what i meant.

thx buddies...............................................................nod

i liked ur view on hamburger thing doc! will ponder on that...my head classifies things on their route of entry but its the subclassification with the ages and areas that messes everything up......but the end chapters of clinical correlation in KLN r outstanding.........I am playing inthere these dayssticking out tongue!

hey KG grini have done my first read of immuno from goljan too.....its much neatly summarized....KLN immuno is a mustraised eyebrow! But you know...... that acid base thing there in goljan, it is much more complex and hifi as compared to the acidbase of physio........so i recon that u must peek in there if u are yet to!

AD wink, yeah man i take ur words.....u love micro n u luv pharma!!!sticking out tongue.....its just that it makes u yawn, right? lol

To my update : my bro came in from europe today, brot a cool laptop for mesticking out tongue........am usin vista for the first time!!! neways ....i am halfway thru ABC of clinical genetics....it helped me know atleast what FISH stands for, and what r mendelian disorders, lol! Moreover, acid base is not very reader friendly in goljan, so I had to listen to the lectrs again! now i feel strong as ever, alhamdolillah!

8th and 9th sept: gotta fight these gen pato things as much as i possibly can!!!

ASA Dowjunk

I am the one who keeps seeking guide from others.

Are you going to redo Microbiology and Immunology from KLN or you will continue with your MRS from 2nd reading. Actually this comes to my mind as KLN Miro and Immuno excellent but RR 2nd edition so compact and fast to read.

Thanks KG and dr123smiling face

doc123.........basically that was my secnd read of microshocked....both times i had to do MRS(50%of topics) plus KLN...................now i think i am nearly done with the confusion, haveput alot of energy into it.........................KLN is more aligned and focussed for me, but its hard to grab! MRS has always been a gr8 book, but i only used it as a supplement........but if u r doing those lil charts of micro from MRS, i gues that's all it! I talk of other ppl's experiences as well.....since i am doing patho from goljan these days I am enjoying relating that micro stuff from KLN to the RR..............................and regarding the last few chaps of KLN, all experienced hands have said its absolutely high yield, in short itsthe highest yield of micro at one place!

my update ::::: I am doing PathoRR along e FA07, system wise....................so getting a terrific experience out of it......have been revising and using all the KLN books along........feels like the minds opening up well.............hemato, GI and general done.......the rest is still in line!

May Allah help us, Ameen!
