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.

Hoity Toity
I was amused by that phrase, "Hoity Toity," a description of a semi-formal end-of-year event we had. The "Food Appreciation Club" and the UCSF Chamber Music group (both started by and composed of first year medical students) teamed up to put on a really beautiful performance with yummy finger foods. It was good to see everyone dressed up and great to hear the fantastic talent in our class - Katie's singing, Jenny's piano, and Paul, Albert, and Elaine on violin among others. I enjoy chamber music; it has a different texture than large ensembles and the repertoire is pretty fun. It was a good way to end the year.
