The Caduceus has since been recognized as a medical symbol when originally it was not. In Europe today is used mainly as an administrative symbol.Gordohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411491669023091364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-55934804625122375222017-01-29T12:19:37.726-06:002017-01-29T12:19:37.726-06:00I am so thrilled to have you back and adding to me...I am so thrilled to have you back and adding to medical knowledge. Loved your book, even got my local 'special collections' at the library to add it to their list. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It has come in handy as I research the female doctors in Colorado before 1900.

Yet the history of western medicine always goes back to Hippocrates and the Ascelpiad 'school' of physicians.
