Do you have any favourite health professionals? Why?
Personally, I do not have any favorite health professional.
My reason is that I do not fit into the health sector, I prefer working in other sectors.
And for this reason, I do not have any health professional.
If you were allowed to be a healthy professional, which would you choose and why?
Although I do not love all the profession in the health sector, I would decide to be a pharmacist if I were given the opportunity to be a health professional.
I would decide to be a pharmacist because a pharmacist is one responsible for issuing drugs and medication to patients.
I love this profession because as a pharmacist, I do not always have to see sick individuals and I don't have to treat or take care of patient.
My job is to prescribe an effective drug to patients which will relief them of their illness.
