Question
Hello my name is Phill Bocchi, I've been recently having an interest in anesthesiology and what its like I'd like to become one, so my question is what do I need to do to become one? I'm a softmore at high school. Is being an anesthesiologist fun or boring?

Answer
You need 4 yrs college, 4 yrs medical school and 4 yrs anesthesia residency. As for being fun or boring, like all professions there are moments of boredom and moments of great excitement. In general, I enjoy what I do.
