Health & Medicine - Staff of Aesclepius vs Staff of Hermes
Hi folks,
I noticed today that the symbol used to represent Health & Medicine here is the double-serpent Staff of Hermes (Greek deity of commerce), rather than the single serpent Staff of Aesclepius (Greek deity of healing and medicine). The two symbols are commonly confused (and as a result both are generally accepted), but of the two the more accurate symbol is the Staff of Aesclepius. More detail ion Wikipedia here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius (see 2nd sentence). What do folks think of changing the symbol to the Staff of Aesclepius?
