Caduceus Medical Symbol - Meaning, History, and Usage in Healthcare #1304518 (License: Personal Use)

The caduceus features two serpents winding around a winged staff, rooted in Greek mythology as the symbol of Hermes, messenger of the gods. Though historically associated with commerce and negotiation, it has become widely (though inaccurately) adopted in modern Western medicine as a symbol of healing and healthcare. Its bold, symmetrical design makes it instantly recognizable in medical branding and institutional signage.
