Why are doctors who specialize in pain management often anesthesiologists?
I thought anesthesiologists were only needed in surgical situations. Anesthesiologists' responsibilities during surgery are focused on safely maintaining the vital functions of the body and relieving pain. Many of the techniques they use to make surgery painless can be expanded to relieve other types of pain. Today's anesthesiologists, after completing an undergraduate college program and four years of medical school, go on to study pain management during their four years of anesthesiology residency. Many anesthesiologists receive further postgraduate education to become pain management specialists.
