An incredible 46% of anesthesiologists have been through the California drug diversion program after they were caught using the drugs they have access to.

This is the result of two factors.

1.) The drugs they have access to are very pleasant and physically addictive;

2.) The drugs they use are tightly monitored with used and unused vials checked back into the pharmacy after each surgery along with real-time record-keeping of the amount administered during each procedure.

Infrequent quantitative tests of used vials to determine if the the liquid remaining in a used vial is pure Fentanyl or has been diluted is all it takes to determine if the anesthesiologist or pharmacist is using.

A 2008 study states, "Fifteen years after the original article, 'Opioid Addiction in Anesthesiology', was published, addiction still remains a major issue in the anesthesia workplace. Between 1991–2001, 80% of U.S. anesthesiology residency programs reported experience with impaired residents, and 19% reported at least one pretreatment fatality." - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Ultimately a large, but poorly documented, percentage of anesthesiologists with recurrent usage of their drugs are redirected into other medical specialties where they don't have access to these drugs. - wvmphp.org
