Yes, I know we called it Caduceus too, but you might know the symbol of snake and staff as Asclepius, the Greek deity of healing. It is thought that the original Hippocratic Oath began with the invocation "I swear by Apollo the Physician and by Asclepius..." In antiquity, the Aesculapian snakes crawled around freely on the floor in dormitories where the sick and injured slept.
