Abstract

This scholarly inquiry delves into the historical significance of two enduring medical symbols: the Rod of Asclepius and the Caduceus. Tracing their origins back to ancient Greek mythology, we uncover their distinct identities and profound meanings as symbols of healing, unity among medical practitioners, and ethical responsibilities. Beyond aesthetics, these emblems serve as powerful educational tools, fostering universal understanding and connecting modern medicine to its historical heritage. Consequently, embracing their true essence can inspire genuine dedication to the noble mission of caring for others.
