They also have to explain to the patient what will happen during the surgery and how they will react after they are done.

 Salary: $323,000 - $425,000

Education: Before entering college, those interested in the career need to think about the kinds of classes taken in high school, such as math and science. Graduation from medical school, an anesthesiologist must spend one year in an internship and three more years in a residency program.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?  

I don’t think I would like to be an anesthesiologist because they have to be present during the surgery and me I get sick if I see someone’s insides and see blood. Its Gross! D;
