Feels weird to see the Caduceus associated hith Hippocrates; here in Europe I've only seen it used as a symbol of trade, while the Rod of Asclepius is the more common symbol for medicine.

I'm fairly sure it's like that everywhere, the rods are just often confused. I myself rarely remember which one is used where

Interesting, I always thought it was a country thing, but you're right that it's simply a widespread confusion.
