I stumbled upon some very interesting gems of knowledge while in a wikipedia rabbit hole this morning. This here is the Rod of Asclepius, which is this rod with a snake around it that was wielded by the Greek god Asclepius, who is associated with healing and medicine. Y’all must be wondering where the other snake is. That particular symbol is the Caduceus (next slide), the staff carried by , who has literally nothing to do with medicine (he’s a messenger!). The wikipedia story on this is essentially that enough people started incorrectly substituting the Caduceus as their symbol of healthcare instead of the Rod of Asclepius that it became an acceptable thing to do in the US. There’s a whole wikipedia article on Caduceus as a symbol of medicine that tries to justify this silliness.
