You mean the Staff of Aesculapius [roman] or Asklepios [greek],the ancient god of medicine. Asclepions were temples of healing.
Not completely irrelevant.

The snake and flame in the medics logo are even older and just as non-relevant (I nearly put irrelevant here but wanted to maintain the gravity of the discussion).

This may be controversial to some but I do wonder whether a retort (or is it called a retort flask?) is what clinical biochemistry is still about. Is it time we re-visited our logo? Happy to be shot down as I do not have any alternative suggestions but I do wonder whether this aspect of our image might merit an update. Thoughts, ideas, agreement, disagreement?
