Question
How long did it take you to become what you already are? What's your salary? Is it hard? What motivates you into becoming one? How successful are you in what you do? Which med school did you go to? What were your grades when you entered med school? What were your scores? I want to know everything.

Answer
It takes 4 yrs of college, 4 yrs of med school and 4 yrs of residency training to becaome an anesthesiologist. I am not going to reveal my salary but you can make between $100K and over $400K. What motivates me is a desire to help my community, relieve suffereing, etc. I like to think I am very successful at what I do. I went to medical school in Israel. My grades wereabove average but not spectacular. I forget my GPA and scores when I applied (it was over 25 yrs ago).
