Every year, the residency program sponsors a resident retreat at Lake Tahoe. I had an amazing weekend with my fellow residents. We left Friday afternoon (the attendings covered the operating rooms) and took a bus up to some wonderful cabins right at the foot of Mount Pluto. I hadn't skied for at least five years, but I had such a good time hitting the slopes. Lake Tahoe is gorgeous and it was absolutely exhilarating to be out there. It was also really fun to get to know my classmates and those in other years in our residency program. Stanford Anesthesia is amazingly generous to give us such a weekend to relax without worrying about clinical responsibilities.

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.
