Finally someone justifies using a caudecus as a medcine symbol.
No.
Single snake is Rod of Asclepius. A caduceus is 2 snakes and the staff has wings.
Yes. Im talking about the heart one cos it looks like two snakes.
actually…
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
No.
Dionysus - Snake on a stick: Yum.
Doesn’t Caduceus symbolize trade and commerce?
Yes, that other comment is crap.
Btw, why the snake on a stick?
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.
No.
Ah.
Not here, further south east.
Lol at tits and ass on the cosmetic snek.
Thank you for properly representing the Rod of Asclepius instead of the Caduceus!
I’ll never go to a gastro pub again
Okay, I choose… that one!
“orthopedics”??? isn’t it “traumatology”?
I will never understand this people (USA)
No, because orthopedics covers congenital stuff like scoliosis too
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.
Opthalmology looks goofy enough to be me.
I never considered that snakes have a butthole they poop from this just looks like hole was drilled.
