The symbol of medicine in the USA is the a snake entwined around a pole. The American Medical Association adopted it early in its formative years. It is based upon the Judeo-Christian biblical story found in the book of Numbers where God instructed Moses to mount a bronze image of a serpant on a pole to be held up for the people to look upon in order to be healed after he had struck them with a plague for their rebellion and complaining.
