Caduceus - 2 snakes on a winged sword - human medicine

Asclepius - 1 snake on a stick - veterinary medicine

No , look, the caudecus isnt a medical symbol. Someone ages ago in america got it wrong and used it everywhere and now people are confused and use a symbol of hermes god of merchants as a medica...

OMG you fools, this explains why none of you can afford healthcare
