The rod of Asclepius is "the original medical symbol" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asclepius). See http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5121716 for details. In summary, both are symbols of medicine today. But, the cadaceus is only a symbol of medicine due to someone in the US Army medical department messing up back in 1902.

My Merriam-Webster specifically lists this as the definition of caduceus (I point specifically to def #2): 1. the symbolic staff of a herald; specifically : a representation of a staff with two entwined snakes and two wings at the top 2 : an insignia bearing a caduceus and symbolizing a physician Not sure where Ben got his information.

The medical symbol is in fact the rod of Asclepius, which has 1 snake rather than 2. Trauma Center made the same mistake by naming the organisation Caduceus. 2 fun facts for today...

I think he looks fabulous!
