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.

Health Care Innovation Contests
I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but Medstro is hosting several competitions soliciting ideas for health care innovation. Sponsored by The American Resident Project, this is a forum to try to stimulate ideas on creating value, connecting underserved populations to care, using technology, and promoting team-based structures. Open to anyone - physicians, medical students, start-up entrepreneurs, patients - these contests crowdsource your ideas on how to make our health care system better. I am one of the many judges and I've been reading dozens of entries, all of which are exciting, creative, and potentially game-changing. The deadlines are coming up soon, but if you have an idea, a solution to one of the myriad of problems we face today as health care providers and patients, then please let us know. We want to hear from you.
