Cover “Caduceus” by Gil Paradis, a longtime resident of Rhode Island who has drawn,
painted and written for many years. “The Caduceus was created as an alternative to the
slick symmetry usually depicted in caduceus. The snakes are imperfectly twined and flawed in appearance. This is the human element of medicine.” gilparadis@hotmail.com |
