Why is it that anesthesiologists get paid much more that other specialties??? Is it because there is a shortage of them or is it just a hard specialty to learn???

And the average radiologist, pathologist, opthalmologist, ENT, Neurosurgeon, ortho surgeon, dermatologist, GI doc, Cardiologist get paid triple blah...
