The snake with the staff is a medical emergency alarm sign that represents health and healing. The snake and the staff have specific connotations that you may not be aware of. Especially since it’s commonly seen on hospitals, medical centers, ambulances, watches, phones, and, of course, medibands, to name a few places. If you’re wondering how the medical emergency alert symbol came to be and what it means, keep reading.
Medicine and the medical profession have traditionally been associated with the staff with the snake. It comes from the legend of Asclepius, a deity of healing who was worshipped by the ancient Greeks and whose cult included the usage of snakes.
Asclepius, by the way, was so good at rescuing lives that Hades, the god of the underworld, complained about him to Zeus, the supreme god, who, worried that the healer would make humanity immortal, murdered him with a thunderbolt.
So you can see nothing devious or dark is connected with it.
