Stolen or Made-up Offerings: When in doubt, do what you do best--It is easier to stay out of trouble, than get out of trouble--Good surgeons don't need paralysis...Bad surgeons don't deserve it--It is hard to kill a spontaneously breathing patient--If these monitors are so dependable, what do they need you for?--Never let die em with just you there--Paralyze em? Hell, any pygmy in the jungle can paralyze em!--The essential elements of an anesthesia education are: knowledge, skills, attitude, humbleness, and fright.--Your job is to feed the mitrochondria--It's all hoops, but in anesthesia school the hoops are smaller, they're made of concertina wire, and they're on fire.--Are you aware that you should be aware of something?
