Why is there medicine and then like 8 kinds of medicine? Does this mean something like anesthesiology is also not 'professional?' Or why is podiatry singled out but not the others?

They are different degrees based on different curricula. Anesthesiology is a specialization you can choose after finishing MD in "generic" medicine.
