"Before we discuss how to become an anesthesiologist, it may be helpful to discuss what an anesthesiologist is. Simply put, an anesthesiologist is a physician (M.D., or D.O.) who administers pain-killing gas or injections during operations and surgical procedures. This could include a variety of drugs and levels of anesthesia from a local numbing agent to general anesthesia where the patient is rendered completely unconscious for the duration of the surgery." - Andrea Santiago
This paragraph is mostly saying that becoming an anesthesiologist means helping people deal with pain. Anesthesiologist have to maintain the average motions and life functions of someone while that person is unconscious. Meaning that, an Anesthesiologist must take risk by putting ones life in somewhat of a predicament and still make sure they wake up like they would waking up from a nap.
