You might find this article interesting: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6913859/.

It explains that the caduceus is incorrectly used as a medical icon. The correct icon should be the Staff of Aesculapius (the father of medicine) - a staff with a single snake wrapped around it. The caduceus is actually the staff of Mercury, and, ironically, one of his duties was to escort the dead to the underworld... not exactly something that should be desired in the medical world...
