there are two symbols associated with medicine with snakes on them. 1: rod of Asclepius: it is a pole with a single snake wrapped around it. it is a ancient greek symbol associated with Astrology and with healing the sick through medicine. 2: Caduceus: it is a pole with wings at the top with two snakes wrapped around it. It is the wand of Hermes. although this is historically incorrect it is believed to have become associated with medicine because of its link with alchemy (hermes being the god of alchemy).
