(Heavily sighs) That is NOT the symbol of medicine. Two snakes on a staff with wings is the symbol of HERMES, not AESCULAPIUS (The god of medicine). I'd like you to correct it, but it's already in the game, so you can't. I'll just put this out there, but still a good game.
It however is a symbol used very often for American Healthcare, which some have noticed still fits... for reasons that would seem on the nose if it were a piece of fiction: Hermes is the God of "all who travel the roads", which, among other things, include merchants and thieves... and considering healthcare costs in the US is higher than really anywhere else on Earth, while being mediocre at best compared to other industrialized nations.
