    Finally someone justifies using a caudecus as a medcine symbol.

      Single snake is Rod of Asclepius. A caduceus is 2 snakes and the staff has wings.

      I was a couple months ago old when I found out that the medical symbol they use is of 2 snakes doing it.

    Caduceus - 2 snakes on a winged sword - human medicine Asclepius - 1 snake on a stick - veterinary medicine

      Doesn’t Caduceus symbolize trade and commerce?

      • MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

        Yes, that other comment is crap.

  • MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Btw, why the snake on a stick?

    source
    • AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca ⁨47⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      It was the symbol of Hermes, the Greek god of messengers. It’s called a caduceus, and it was a symbol of peace that would grant safe passage to the carrier. For similar reasons it would be adopted by medical experts and come to be associated with medicine.

    Thank you for properly representing the Rod of Asclepius instead of the Caduceus!

    “orthopedics”??? isn’t it “traumatology”?

    I will never understand this people (USA)

    source
    • faythofdragons@slrpnk.net ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      No, because orthopedics covers congenital stuff like scoliosis too

      source
    • dustyData@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Entirely different things, and I think the meme actually correctly corresponds to orthopedics. It’s a pediatric specialty, and unfortunately, most of the treatments are some form or another of restraining body parts so they grow straight. Hence the snake tied to the rod in order to remain straight instead of wrapping and slithering around.
