Under the heading "Origin in barbering and surgery," the sentence "(and the twined pole motif is likely related to the Staff of Hermes, aka the Caduceus, evidenced for example by early physician van Helmont's of himself as "Francis Mercurius Van Helmont, A Philosopher by that one in whom are all things, A Wandering Hermite," op. cit., preface[1].)" should be deleted since it's full of logical and gramatical errors and adds nothing useful to the article. The Caduceus is a symbol of Hermes, the messenger of the ancient Greek gods, and protector of human heralds, travellers, thieves, merchants, and orators. It is sometimes confused with the Rod of Asclepius, which is a symbol of medicine. "Hermite" is an archaic spelling of "hermit," which has nothing to do with Hermes.
