You know what's even more ridiculous? Anesthesiologists' starting salary is $400k.
And don't give me the whole risk crap too. Yes there is some risk, but that's with just about any job in the medical profession.
I've anesthetized nearly a thousand mice at my lab job and it's as easy as pie. The machine works out the perfect concentration for you of oxygen and anesthetic. You just set the dial to the correct position. I haven't had a single mouse die.
Because mice are exactly like humans. If its so easy why dont you do it?
Do mice come into your OR piss drunk with a knife in their head? No? Didnt think so. And 400 is a bit high, 300-350 depending on location is a better average start.
