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.

Congratulations!
The end of medical school and the start of residency is a wonderful time for some of my friends. My friends and classmates are starting to hit that stage of life when they are thinking of starting their own families and committing to their loved ones. Indeed, this summer was a blossoming of weddings, and just today, I walked from Stanford Hospital to Memorial Church to attend one of my friends' weddings. Congratulations to all the newly-weds. And to those in the midst of their residencies or med school or first jobs, I am so incredibly impressed by your sustenance through such a stressful time.
