[#DIV28SUPER] Anesthesiology is among the highest risk occupations (including death)

Access to agents with abuse potential is a major determinant of abuse liability.

This paper provides remarkable new quantitative evidence. The hazard has been known for decades, and the authors discuss the likelihood of underestimation.

This paper is unusual in that it links professional organization records with potential for under reporting with an independent death registry that records cause of death.

The risk of death in this profession approaches that of the commercial fishing industry.
