Sounds good………but the cadeusus is the symbol of war and piece….not medicine! It is the Aesclaepius with its similar appearance that symbolizes medicine.
You need to redesign the pin.
You mean War and “Peace”? Dear Dr. Starkman, I any many others now feel we are are War, for the President and the Scotus has declared just that on us.
Dr. Starkman: Are you trying to impress everyone with your brilliance? As long as you have chosen to go back to the ancient Greeks, I would like to inform you that the original healers were women (Olde English-crones) who practiced Black Magic (Wicca) and purported to employ the use of snakes for some of their potions, therefore when the medical profession became more reputable, the snake was used for the cadeuces. It is a fitting symbol.
Ruth…
you are making the wrong assumption that early healers all practiced “Black Magic” or wiccan forms of healing. While some healers may have entered into the world of “black arts”, the traditional use of herbs, animal parts, potions (including cob webs to help wounds to clot), music, energy healing or prayers does not automatically equate to “black magic” or Wicca.
Kudos to the Black Ribbon Project! Thank you for your dedication and determination to overturn ‘obamacare’. You have an impressive site here!
Those comments above are the Smarts comments. To miss the main point they will see any little imperfection.
I love the Caduceus pin…its part Chiropractic Caduceus and part Medical..both are getting screwed in ObamaCare…wife of Chiropractor and SD State Legislator, District 11, Lora Hubbel
OMG please dont tie this great and meaning project in with chiros, they cause more harm by increasing health care spending with unproven treatments and shady billings of state/federal programs.
The symbol chosen here is the most popular in the USA today, it is the Caduceus representing Air Force medicine. The original was one snake climbing a single wooden shaft. You’ll find it in books, but rarely in stores.
So more power to you for the project. I’ve not yet decided how many I’ll order.

Thank you Dr. Harris.
I appreciate the work you are doing!
