Fresno is in central California, about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It's hot out here, really reminding me of Santa Rosa. We stay in apartments about 10 miles north of the hospital. The accommodations are quite nice: 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom in a gated area with swimming pools, an In-and-Out within walking distance, and a shopping mall close by.
The hospital feeds us well. There is a resident room with free breakfast and hot lunch every day (as well as numerous lunch talks provided by the department). It's a pretty nice hospital compared to SFGH where I'm always afraid an earthquake will send everything tumbling. I was also impressed by the UCSF-Fresno administrative and teaching building with its beautiful architecture, it's technological spiffyness, and it's spacious areas for lounging. So all in all, this is not a bad place to be.

In ancient Greece, the asclepion was a healing temple dedicated to Asclepius, the God of Medicine. Asclepius learned the art of surgery from the centaur Chiron and had the ability to raise the dead. The Rod of Asclepius is a roughhewn branch entwined with a single serpent.
