I only say military medic, because I've only ever heard the term medic applied in the military.
I can understand your ...understanding of the matter and word.
What do you think us Medics call ourselves then?
There is more to Medicine than just the USA/UK/Aust - Political/Military dominated versions.
You work in the Medical Industry - you are a Medic, regardless if you are Surgeon (Sir), Doctor, Professor, Orderly, Nurse (from RN to AN), Admin, etc.
It may have been adopted from the Military 'Medics'.
But its a universal word before one goes into the specific of what level/department one worked.
So why not be specific. I'm a doctor, or a nurse.
Saying you're a medic is deliberately generic, and I therefore choose to infer you're an AIN.
Bingo! You got that one right.
Yes I was 'just an AiN.
My life has always been 'labour' orientated when working.
I still work as a labourer, building Houses now.
My mind, I use for 'recreational' purposes, like a CEO runs the City to Surf or hangs out in gyms.
I was pretty good as an AiN. Worked nearly every department except ICU, Maternity, Paediatrics.
Originated the 'simple' understanding that Dementia can pick up people's 'feelings' 50% better than us normals...
...just like many 'Deaf' people do Art because they compensate they lack of hearing with more exceptional visualisation. Like many Blind people take up Music and Singing
"Something lost is something gained."
I came up with a few other good things and was sought by top Surgeons to be on their 'team' - they even got me into Uni to become RN. But by that time, I was over working in the Industry, not really into using my brain for professional reasons and was getting married that year.
Even in construction, I was a very highly paid Labourer - because I was that damn good. Not just physically good at it, but very efficient and innovative.
So when I remember sitting in a room with fellow Medics, one of which was Dr from Triage. We talked about the facts concerning 'Deodorants'. We call ourselves 'Medics' in general because its a polite way of introduction of 'equality' between those of different levels.
So sorry I'm not some high Professor of some Specialisation. But not everything needs to be 'complexly' thought out. Sometimes, its the simple things in life that provide an answer.
If that doesn't satisfy your need.
Then that's ok by me and I'll move on.
I've said my bit and that's all that matters.
