Isola di Kos, Grecia: Birthplace of Hippocrates

Site of the Askiepieion of Kos (Medical School)

Aslepius: Greek God of Medicine

The Rod of Asclepius, a-snake entwined staff, is represented by the Caduceus.

Entry to Isola di Kos from mainland Greece

Hippocrates’ beach; I like to imagine he resting here, with students, staring out to sea.

Dear Reader,

I have recently retired, well, not that recently althoughy technically, I suppose, recently, if you can call a $40/mo phone allowance employed. Let me just clarify that after suffering a high C-spine injury in October of 2024, I haven’t been working. Nonetheless, if any feel the need to reach out for whatever reason, I’ll respond if the indication is there. Best wishes.
