Anesthesiology/Two questions on becoming an Amesthisiologist

Question
My first questin ia what is the estimated cost to becoming an Anesthesiologist? Also how long dose it take to becoming an Anesthesiologist?

Answer
Once you are a physician and have completed an internship year to be eligible for licensure (to practice medicine in most jurisdictions), you may apply for admission to an anesthesiology residency training program.  That program is usually three years in length;  there is no "cost" per se, the position is paid at a 'starting' salary.   

Medicine and anesthesiology require a high degree of compulsiveness/drive/precision to qualify, care for ill people and succeed.  Your questions, full of grammatical and spelling errors and unproofread, plainly indicate that you are NOT one of those people.
