Well, now I guess I will be truly the grinch. Doctors also bled patients
for decades if not centuries. I don't belive they would have done it if
they didn't think it worked.



Leech therapy (a form of bleeding), to assist in circulation and healing, is
once again in vogue and endorsed by modern medical practitioners. ;-)

Umm, Leech therapy is indeed "in vogue" (key word: vogue!), and even if there is something to it, it bears NO relation to the practice of bleeding patients to "get rid of ill humors."
