35. A staff or rod, with a snake curled around it. It is the staff
or rod of Aesculapius (also called Asklepios), the ancient
mythical god of medicine .
The name of the symbol derives from its early and
widespread association with Asclepius, the son of Apollo,
who was a practitioner of medicine in ancient Greek
mythology.
Doctors' symbol

36. At present Caduceus, with its two snakes and wings,
used as a symbol of medicine instead of the correct rod of
Asclepius
The caduceus was the magic rod of Hermes
Medical Organisations use a symbol of a short rod
entwined by two snakes and topped by a pair of wings,
which is actually the caduceus or magic wand of the
Greek God Hermes (Roman Mercury),
