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.

Super Bowl 50
Apparently, with Super Bowl weekend coming up, the area expects an influx of over a million visitors. That really surprised me! All the local hospitals (including the one I am at) have put into place plans for increasing capacity, triaging patients, and responding to a mass emergency. It makes me think of the system strains that occur with large events like the Olympics, presidential debates, and big conferences.I suppose preparation and planning are key. Hopefully I won't need to rush in this weekend.
