NA Localization:
The rod held by the man considered to be the progenitor of the art of medicine. He is said to have treated patients with a serpent by his side. Why he did this remains unclear. Was the snake just a pet? Or was it used in some sort of treatment? Or was the fact of its continuous molting meant to symbolize immortality for some manner of magecraft?
Obviously, none can explain the serpent entwined around the cane. Is it a living creature, or something artificial? Or could it be something derived from the Greek gods?
We asked him.
"Huh? That's a pointless question. All patients have to do is to trust their doctor. Asking questions like, 'what is this medicine?' and 'why are you doing that?' is futile, even infuriating. It's a waste of time, and it gets in the way of treatment. That's why you just need to obediently... What's that? A doctor is obliged to explain? Informed consent? The modern world sure has become annoying."
Fan Translation:
The staff that belongs to the man that is said to be the godfather of medicine.
It is said that he brings along a snake to cure.
The exact reason is however, not known.
Is it just a pet? Is it to make medicine? Is it to symbolize the undying nature by shedding?
Is it essential to perform magic?
Of course, the identity of the 'snake' on this staff is also unknown.
Is it a living thing? or is it man-made?
Or is it something made by the early Gods of Greece---
When being asked about it:
"Huh??? You're an annoying patient. You all are just suppose to believe in what the doctors say.
You don't ask something like 'What's this medicine' or 'Why did you do this'.
It's depressing. A waste of time. A nuisance to curing wounds.
That is why, be more mature and...... what?
Obligation of explanation?...... informed consent?
...... the world sure has turned more troublesome."
