We look at the following symbols in different hospitals, ambulances and medical services. But many people have forgotten these symbols from a distance of the stethoscope used by doctors. Interestingly, it is not a stethoscope, but for many, their most scared reptile serpents. Today we will know how the snake and stick came as a symbol of medical school!
Good looking, the snake has been used to display all the pictures without the above one picture. Let us briefly discuss all the symbols and its meanings, in a phased manner.

And this symbol is popular because of the American Medical Core not known as a symbol of medical science. Because the god Hermes was never related to medical science in any way.
At the end of the nineteenth century there was a need to use a logo in the American Medical Core. Then whoever was in charge of it, he remembers Caduceus as related to medical science and used it as a logo. Because he is confused with Rod Of Asclepius and Caduceus.
