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.

Attendance
Attendance in class has been waning recently. It's unfortunate though I can see why it's happening. A lot of the material we're learning right now is review or better learned from reading the syllabus (molecular biology, epidemiology). There's very little clinical stuff. And there's a lot of reading (or so people say; I have yet to start). The lectures aren't necessarily that great, and they're not too efficient for learning (at least if you're not an audiovisual learner). But I tend to go to lecture. I figure if someone (and a professor no less) is willing to take time out of their life to teach something, then as a student, I should glean what wisdom I can from that lecture. I also tend to feel guilty if I don't go to class.
