"Medicine Holding Back Death" by Julian Hoke Harris, 1959

Near Grady Hospital, Grim Reaper building might soon have date with death - Curbed Atlanta
Old Fulton County Department of Health and Wellness building, complete with amazing sculptures, could soon be torn down

I like public hospital art. The Federal Arts Programme was one of the highlights of the New Deal and it made for such a great model of patronage.
LA County hospital was an art deco masterpiece with beautiful murals and sculptures:

Cool relief and all, but why do Americans always use the Caduceus instead of the Rod of Asclepius?
The Rod of Asclepius is the dominant symbol for professional healthcare associations in the United States. One survey found that 62% of professional healthcare associations used the rod of Asclepius as their symbol.[32] The same survey found that 76% of commercial healthcare organizations used the Caduceus. The author of the study suggests that professional associations are more likely to have a historical understanding of the two symbols, whereas commercial organizations are more likely to be concerned with the visual impact a symbol will have on sales.[32]
it's from wikipedia but the citation (Friedlander, Walter J (1992). The Golden Wand of Medicine: A History of the Caduceus symbol in medicine. Greenwood Press. ISBN 0-313-28023-1) is exactly the kind of meganerd tome within which i would expect to find such information and it makes sense
ps i cant be the only one that constantly calls it the rod of assclapius in her head
