FAQ

Medical symbols, answered

What is the ⚚ symbol (Staff of Hermes)?

⚚ is the Staff of Hermes (Caduceus) — a rod with two entwined snakes and wings that represents commerce and communication, not medicine. It's a common mix-up: the real symbol of medicine is ⚕ (the Rod of Asclepius, one snake, no wings), and ☤ (Caduceus) is frequently — and incorrectly — used as a medical symbol in the US.
