Caduceus or Rod of Aesculapius.pdf

Caduceus and Rod of Aesculapius are commonly used

symbols in the medical field worldwide, but they do

not historically have the same strength of connection

with medicine. It is important to revisit the issue thereby

pointing the attention of medical policy and decision

makers on the adoption of these symbols and

reminding those that may already know of this

continuous misrepresentation.
