The Golden Wand of Medicine: A History of the Caduceus Symbol in Medicine
Walter J. Friedlander
The Caduceus, two entwined snakes set upon a rod, was the ancient symbol of Hermes, the Greek god of merchants. Today, it is a common and popular symbol of the medical professions. This book traces the use of the Caduceus and answers the questions of how it came to be the symbol of medicine.
