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.

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

You're telling me the Greek symbol for profit is easily confused with the symbol for medicine?

Wow, the Greeks really were advanced!

Asclepius’ staff

Here's a link for anyone else trying to remember the correct image.

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

Achtually, I find the Sacred Heart iconography quite apt given the circumstances. It's about self sacrifice for the love of humanity.

The image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is rich with symbolism. The exposed Heart, often depicted with a crown of thorns, represents Jesus’ suffering and his immense love for humanity. The flames emanating from the Heart signify the transformative and purifying power of his love, while the cross above the Heart is a reminder of his redemptive sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.

(Finally, my many, many fucked up years of religious school has paid off.)

That's a halo, not the sun. Because he's a saint.
