P.S.
I did find one reference to the bird with an olive branch in its beak emblem meaning that doctors should be as free as birds to cross borders and of coarse the olive branch means peace.
Of course ... a stethoscope
Brilliant ... and effective, Robert ! No doubts left on your interpretation !
The bird with an olive branch would be a pidgeon ... according to Noah
