    I think what you're looking for is one of these: Rod of Ascleplius

    The caduceus is associated with commerce, not medicien: Caduceus

    However, I do not claim to be an expert on these matters. I saw the word caduceus, had a pretty good idea what it was referring to, wasn't sure so I wikied it. Ta da!

    I really like the kilt btw. And I think medical themed accessories would be spot on/awesome! As much as I think wearing black is the easy way out when trying to make a kilt ensemble(sp) I still wear black hose with a black shirt with my kilts and I think that option would look REALLY good with your kilt.

    I agree. Black would be good. Green, as suggested by Matt, would work too. Blue might also look good.

    Too much red does give it that candy cane look.

    BTW, nice kilt, and kudos to you for going into a tough field!

    Actually, I meant the caduceus. In America, at least, today, the caduceus is the symbol of medicine. It doesn't matter that once upon a time, it had to do with commerce; today, in this place, it means medicine. I was a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy, and my rate mark was a caduceus. My father was a Registered Nurse, and had a caduceus engraved on his stethoscope. So it's a symbol which has deep personal meaning for me, and it's the one I'll use.

    Like I said, I'm defiitely not an expert and you obviously know more about the topic. I was just putting forth some info. I found.

    And that's all that matters.

    Oh, and I agree with some of the others. Dressing more traditionally with the MacMedic kilt might take away from some of the "MacTableclothliness" of it.
