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.

Interview Season
The end of November marks the beginning of the residency interview season. I recently had dinner with anesthesia applicants, and how different it feels being on the resident side! No longer is it a scramble to get from place to place, to present oneself formally, to try to absorb a whirlwind of information about each program. Instead, it's great food with wonderful company, a time to share stories and meet potential residents. The process reminds me of all the hoops I had to jump through to get to where I am (and possibly portends the hoops I have yet to go), and it's kind of amazing I've weathered it all and still have a relatively decent attitude about it.
