Post your thoughts on the allopathic treason of converting to the Caduceus as their symbol. Why oh why is this recognized as the medical symbol when we all know that the truity is the staff of Aescapulius.😡

Read this for your answer. It is not just allopathic institutions, but a hodgepodge of med schools, hospitals, etc that get it wrong. The only medical people who have a valid reason for using the caduceus are the men and women of the military health corps and also ambulances, as the caduceus was originally used by these people as a symbol of neutrality and good faith (similar to the red cross)
