蛇是医学最受欢迎的代表性象征。通常使用的两个主要数字是Asclepius和Caduceus的杆。文献中存在许多争议，即caduceus是否是医学的错误象征。这些描述如何成为医学大使的历史对于许多医生来说是难以捉摸的。学者们认为，这种错误信念的起源可以追溯到1902年，当时美国陆军医疗队首先将Caduceus纳入了其象征。这篇文章是一种试图发现和解释蛇如何成为Asclepius和Caduceus的一部分的尝试，并构成了我们时代的医学象征。人们普遍认为，医生的义务不仅在治愈病中，而且赋予他的任务更为复杂。因此，应该将更多的人视为医生，而不是医生。
The serpent is the most popular representative symbol of medicine. The two main figures commonly used are the rod of Asclepius and the caduceus. Much controversy exists in the literature on whether the caduceus is a false symbol for medicine or not. The history of how these depictions came to be ambassadors of the medical science is elusive to many physicians. Scholars suggest that the origin of this false belief dates back to 1902, when the US Army Medical Corps first incorporated the caduceus as its symbol. This current essay is an attempt to discover and interpret how the snake came to be part of the rod of Asclepius and the caduceus, and constitute the symbol of medicine in our days. It is widely accepted that a doctor's obligation is not only in healing the ill, but the task that is bestowed upon him is more complex. Therefore, one should be considered more of a physician rather than simply a doctor.
