The different approach
Most common after Red Cross Used by W.H.O
What doctors are using is-Caduceus
The caduceus, the traditional symbol of Hermes featuring two snakes around an often winged staff, is often mistakenly used as a symbol of medicine instead of the Rod of Asclepius, especially in the United States of America. The two-snake caduceus design has ancient and consistent associations with commerce, eloquence, trickery, and negotiation
Early evidence of any symbolic association between the caduceus and medicine or medical practice is scarce and ambiguous.
