Anesthesiologist

Anesthesiologist

Duties and Responsibilities:

Anesthesiologists are the physicians trained to administer and manage anesthesia given during a surgical procedure. They are also responsible for managing and treating changes in your critical life functions - breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure - as they are affected by the surgery being performed. Further, they immediately diagnose and treat any medical problems that might arise during and immediately after surgery.

Salary:

They make around $348,831 per year

Education:

Following graduation, prospective anesthesiologists are required to attend four years of medical school where they generally spend the first two years building on basic sciences and the second two in clinical training.

Reflection:

This job sure pays a lot so it would be hard to turn down but I don’t think I would like to be one because of all the years in studying and the pressure of having one’s life in your hands.
