Caduceus Medical Symbol - Meaning, History, and Usage in Healthcare #210291 (License: Personal Use)

This image displays a stylized blue caduceus, a symbol historically linked to Hermes in Greek mythology but commonly (though inaccurately) adopted in modern Western medicine. The design features two intertwined snakes climbing a central rod topped with wings, rendered in bold blue line art against a white background. While the Rod of Asclepius is the more accurate medical symbol, the caduceus remains prevalent in hospitals, clinics, and health-related branding.
