Caduceus; ONE SNAKE OR TWO?
The oldest profession in the world often has been attributed to prostitution (not necessarily sexual).
The symbol of the prostitute used the winged caduceus staff with one snake.
The second oldest enduring profession has been, primarily in North America, considered to be a symbol of the “witch doctor”. This profession has progressed to be one of the greatest humanitarian and scientific escalations, now labeled as “Medical Doctor”.
The medical doctor is one of the three highest and enduring educational levels, and is part of the triad of the Learned professional educational degrees: Medicine, Law, and Theology.
The medical symbol in North America is the winged caduceus with two snakes!
Comment:
A prostitute can abandon the profession but the personal history is forever. The medical doctor can prostitute the profession and down grade to the one snake level. However once the degree of MD is earned, that degree is forever.
Lawyers can be disbarred, and denied the use of the connotation, J.D.., and Theologists can be defrocked, and their degree is lost.
