I'm guessing, the rainbow colours are there because prisms are triangular. And to make it look more ridiculous, of course.

The ☤ symbol is a caduceus, which got mixed up here with the Rod of Asclepius, which is a symbol for medicine.
So, it's related to Hippocrates, who was a physician, perhaps most prominently known for the Hippocratic Oath.
