No your misinformed.

"A professional is a person who has completed a doctoral or law program (a masters or bachelors degree does not infer a professional). The term professional is often misused. It is not to be confused with "White Collar" or "expert". A person who is white collar performs a job that requires education and does not involve physical labor. An expert is a person in a profession that requires certain types of skilled work requiring formal training or education. In western nations, such as the United States, the term commonly describes highly educated, mostly salaried workers, who enjoy considerable work autonomy, economic security, a comfortable salary, and are commonly engaged in creative and intellectually challenging work."

There are professionals in all sorts of degrees. Nurses are professionals. Paramedics are professionals. Chefs are professionals. A professional is someone who has completed a degree. See number 1. So by the definition.. I am a professional as I have a degree that I use for a means of living.

A professional in the litral sense is someone that has completed a doctoral or law program.

I'm a Maryland certified and licensed EMT. And I'm working on my EMT in the state of North Carolina. And I'm enrolling in class for my IV-Tech and Medic. So, yeah. I am technically considered a professional.

Not to be rude, but how are you a medical professional at the age of 18? What is your title?

I work in a hospital. And I'm not saying anything you said was wrong. I simply said you aren't a professional. You have no license or certification in medicine. I DO and I AM considered a medical professional and I don't necessarily flaunt that. Just saying be careful with wording.

If you take the litral sense of professional then sure you are correct.

However I'm working in a hospital with Doctors as a trainee/junior doctor on probation.

I'm giving advice like that and much much more complex than that. If I had said something wrong then sure. But I spoke about BMI and said that it was a guide line at best and that waist to hip ratio was the most accurate by far.

This advice any health care professional would give and I know that to be true.
