Why are anesthesiologists paid that much?

I’m not saying they don’t deserve it, obviously I know they have our lives between their hands. To my knowledge, they base their calculations around our weights and heights. What else makes it so difficult?

It’s not just about dosing drugs based on weight and height. Anesthesiologists need to understand complex pharmacology, physiology, and even psychology. They are constantly monitoring and adjusting during surgery, dealing with potential emergencies, and managing post-op pain. A single mistake can be fatal, so that level of expertise and responsibility demands a high salary. Plus, they go through years of intense schooling and training.
