Summary
If you cannot be bothered to read all the other chapters then the following aphorisms will teach you a lot about the safe practice of anaesthesia. We thank our anaesthetic colleagues, past and present, for their help in compiling this list of epigrams that includes wisdom, witticism and a large helping of the obvious.
