DO Asclepius

Short description: The Rod of Asclepius has long been a symbol of medicine, something familiar to us DOs. In this piece, the femur takes the place of the rod, representing strength and resilience. The serpent, gently coiling around the femur, further reflects the essence of medicine: a delicate balance between strength and the passionate pursuit of healing.
