It's boring and difficult
The problem with anaesthetics is that there is about 20 minutes of action per day. And that you need to understand the physiology of the entire body in order to do your job. Some mdeical students (us) barely know the physiology of the toenail, let alone everything else. So, learn physiology!

So far analgesia is all I've covered.
Procedures
- Life support - You will had various sessions on this over the years. Refresh yourselves on it!
- Intubation - sticking a tube down an airway so people can breathe. They always fight over it in House.
