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.

Mnemonic
"There is a great mnemonic to remember the organisms that cause invasive enterocolitis. If you remember what I'm going to tell you, you won't have any trouble identifying the bugs that could be responsible when that patient rolls into the dark ER at 3 in the morning your intern year. You'll be glad you learned the easy mantra that I am teaching you today. That mnemonic is: Shigella, Salmonella, Campylobacter" (Professor Ganem). I was quite amused.
what about EIEC?
