I�m looking for an Aesculap (???), i.e. a vertical staff with a snake
curled around it, used as a symbol for medicine. Does anybody know
where to find one?

Caduceus, it is. Sort of like this?

Sorry, Anon, but your correction is incorrect. The symbol for medicine uses
one snake. See the discussion below (from sci.medicine.education) for more
info. -Cloyster

	That's pretty close, as far as I know.  A discussion of this
was also on Greg Chronowski's medical page at one point.  I don't know if
it's still there.
	Anyhoo, Army ambulances and emergency vehicles were painted with
the staff of Mercury (yes, he was stealing cattle by the age of two
days, and he was the god of many things...just about anything having to
do with change, transformation, or transition.) during WW1 to denote
transportation of the wounded, and the idea of speed or urgency.  This
symbol was supposed to allow the safe passage of these vehicles through
hostile territory.  Enemies were not to engage them, and I assume that was
usually the case, that the ambulances were left alone (I wasn't there).
	The staff of Asklepios is entwined with only one snake.  The son of
Apollo was considered the god of medicine by the Greeks and Romans.
	I don't know if it's correct to say that one symbol is right and
the other wrong to signify medicine, but now you can distinguish between
the two and decide for yourself.  Godspeed.

Bearing all this in mind, here is a caduceus I drew last year.
               _
       _____  ( )  _____
      vVVVVV\__|__/VVVVVv  
     vVVVVVVvvv|vvvVVVVVVv
    vVVVV      |      VVVVv
   vVVV   .=-< | >-=.  VVVv
   vVV   (____ |_____)  VVv
   v          (|)         v
              (|)
              (|) 
              (|)
              (|)
              '|`
  ejm          |

and here it is with one snake only.
               _
       _____  ( )  _____
      vVVVVV\__|__/VVVVVv  
     vVVVVVVvvv|vvvVVVVVVv
    vVVVV      |      VVVVv
   vVVV        | >=.   VVVv
   vVV         |____)   VVv
   v          (|          v
               |)
              (|  
               |)
              (| 
               |`
  ejm          |


and just guessing that the wings are something to do with Mercury, here
is one without the wings:

               _
              ( )
               |
               | >=.
               |____)
              (| 
               |)
              (|  
               |)
              (| 
               |`
  ejm          |


It seems to me that Joan made a much more elegant caduceus that can no
doubt be altered to become an Aesculap but I can't find it.
