Finally someone justifies using a caudecus as a medcine symbol.
wunami@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Single snake is Rod of Asclepius. A caduceus is 2 snakes and the staff has wings.

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 3 weeks ago
Yes, that other comment is crap.
FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
No , look, the caudrvus isnt a medicsl symbol. Someone ages ago in america got it wrong and used it everywhere and now people are confused and use a symbol of hermes god of merchants as a medica…

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

Btw, why the snake on a stick?

It’s the Rod of Asclepius, not to be confused with the caduceus!
There are various theories why this symbol was invented. The one that makes most sense to me is that it depicts a (formerly widespread) parasitic nematode being removed by wrapping it around a stick to slowly draw it out of the body.

There’s also just the use of snakes as a symbol of rebirth and healing
AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 3 weeks 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.

As an old and now retired medic, once again EMS gets left out. Our caudecus is twin snakes with a pair of wings attached to the rod.
Some say the snakes tell you we are real, honest to god, professionally trained medical personnel. And not just an overpriced taxi service.
The wings indicate we will fly to your medical emergency as fast as we can. Because the louder you scream, the faster we come.
And the rod is the gear shift lever that tells how fast we can shift from ‘This ain’t nothin’ to ‘Oh shit we gotta go. We gotta go NOW’ And ‘Inject ALL the diesel’ modes.
And finally our motto: “I’m always willing to bet your life I can keep you alive long enough so you can die on some doctor and not me”

Been more involved with orthopedics than anything else
sundaymidnight@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
“orthopedics”??? isn’t it “traumatology”?
I will never understand this people (USA)
faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
No, because orthopedics covers congenital stuff like scoliosis too
dustyData@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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.

Europeans refusing to learn etymology again… You would think they’d have an easier time with this.
It actually makes more sense when you learn that American English is formed by the foreign languages of the people who immigrate here. But Europeans also have issues with foreigners so I guess that adds up.
