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.

Greek Coincidence
My soon-to-be-defunct email address at Stanford was muses at stanford. My current address is on Parnassus Avenue. Mount Parnassus happens to be sacred to Apollo and home to the muses. Thanks to Rev for pointing that out.
