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.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I wanted to wish everyone a warm, safe, and happy Thanksgiving break. We just finished our midterm for the cancer block and have a few days off to enjoy the holiday. I plan on actually taking a leave from this blog during this break. I'm going to be spending the vacation on the east coast with some friends. Every year, I have always written a "Thanksgiving" type blog, so I expect I'll be back with that at the end of the weekend. Meanwhile, I hope everyone is able to find a bit of time for him/herself, family, and friends. Or, if you're just aching for interesting things to read, apparently some researchers have been able to develop embryonic stem cells from differentiated skin cells. Scientifically fascinating, and it might be somewhat politically interesting too.
