## Abstract

Burnout is a concern to individuals in different professions and it continues to be a major concern among physicians in different specialties. Hyman *et al*1 conducted a study to compare the severity of burnout among different anesthesiology subspecialties. Chronic pain anesthesiologists had higher burnout when compared with other surveyed subspecialties.
