Mine (anesthesia).
Never stand when you can sit.
If you even think about intubating, do it.
If the case can be done under local it should.
A good general is better than a bad sedation.
You can't be in 2 places at the same time, don't try.
Don't argue with patients about stupid allergies.
If the odd OR day gets canceled, you are not going to go bankrupt. Enjoy the day off.
Never be afraid to ask for help.
If you are having bad feelings about a case, something bad is usually going to happen.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Don't start until everything is the way you like it.

PAR nurses are always right.
If you don’t have a dx from the hx you’ve got your work cut out for you.
If you haven’t reproduced the sx on exam you don’t have a dx yet.
One outlier will negate 100 hrs saved by your new shortcut.
