Looks great. But it's a missed opportunity to not have this symbol on his chest:

Akshully that's a caduceus, symbol of commerce. It's often confused with the similar Asclepius' staff, without wings and sometimes with a cup.
You're telling me the Greek symbol for profit is easily confused with the symbol for medicine?
Wow, the Greeks really were advanced!
Here's a link for anyone else trying to remember the correct image.
Image with load, just black
Huh. I think it has a transparent background. It's fine on dark mode in the web browser.
Here they are side by side.
Yep, my phone's shitty dark mode was the problem haha
It's funny with reference to the Wikipedia entry for it. A symbol of commerce, often used "inappropriately" by the health industry
Paraphrased, quote marks are mine, added since I think the health in general is more about commerce than health
No akshully needed, that's exactly the kind of information that's important. Thank you
Achtually, I find the Sacred Heart iconography quite apt given the circumstances. It's about self sacrifice for the love of humanity.

(Finally, my many, many fucked up years of religious school has paid off.)
That's the Caduceus depicted above, the symbol of logistics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus. Which is often but improperly used these days as a medical symbol in place of the Rod of Asclepius, which has only one snake and no wings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius
Yea, but a burning heart also works well as a symbol for Caritas
