Necro bump.

In related news, a class mate of mine was pre-med, and got a tatoo of the caduceus the width of his upper back first semester, freshman year. After getting a C in Bio 1, and D in gen chem 1, he decided "environmental bio" was more his thing, not medicine. The guy took his shirt off any time beer hit his lips.

Oh, and he's a tool. A total tool.

Wow....pure gold.

who cares? it is considered the symbol of medicine now. The swastika was once a symbol of leading a fulfilled life but I can't get away with tattooing it on my chest and claiming it is for balance and harmony. lots of symbols change over time.

you better not where a cross necklace because because it predates christianity so therefore you are claiming that you worship pagan gods.

Going to agree with this sentiment. I used to fight the caduceus, but its a symbol for medicine now. Its all over the place.

My fraternity symbol is the Caduceus and I wear my fraternity ring with the symbol. Someone thought I was wearing it to be a douchy premed. At least when I wear it if I get to be a doctor most people will assume it is because I am a doctor, not a frat guy.

Well I guess that makes me/made me a douchy pre-med because I have the symbol on my high school class ring.😎
