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 is not that anaesthesiology is so difficult that it needs extraorbitant salaries (not more difficult than other specialties), it is more a result of supply and demand. if there isn’t enough specialist, then the ones around can ask for practically any cost (since surgery cannot be done without them), then the good money brings more young fellows to anaesthesia and then you have a truckload of people earning a lot
