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.

Last Day
Today was my last day of rotations as a medical student! I also felt like the only medical student in the hospital; all the third years were taking their end-of-rotation exams and nearly all the fourth years were on vacation (I had squandered my vacation earlier so I had to do a rotation all the way to the end). At noon conference today, I was the only student in the room. But I got the best feeling in the world today, turning in my pager knowing that it was the last day in the hospital as a medical student. I'm celebrating tonight.
