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.

Anatomy Lab
We got a chance to go back into anatomy lab to practice some procedures which was awesome. I really enjoyed it! We got to do a knee aspiration and a shoulder injection (both into the glenohumeral joint and the subacromial space). That was really fun. It was good review of the joints and correlated with the curriculum in learning about septic arthritis. I just really enjoyed pretending to do procedures on cadavers and being successful after many pokes. It actually made me feel somewhat like a doctor.
