Hermes is associated with the Caduceus
the Caduceus and the Rod of Asclepius are often confused.
If "medica" is a typo for "medical profession" you are looking for Asclepius, not Hermes.

Hermes (Roman name Mercury)
He was the messenger to the gods & guide of dead souls to the underworld.
He aided heroes Odysseus & Perseus in their quests.
His most famous depiction, a statue by Bellini, shows him alight on one foot, wings at his heels, the snaky caduceus in hand, on his head, a rather stylized combination helmet of darkness & sun hat.
