My theory is that there are modern doctors who still believe in bleeding as a cure, but are afraid to admit it.
Just look for the leech paperweight on their desks....

Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I want to see leeches on House. Seriously. Dr. Gregory House prescribing leeches while Cameron goes "Euw!" Off to my happy place.

Happy Birthday billytea!
We're having breakfast for dinner tonight at church. I'm making oven scrambled eggs with cheese, and frying up onions and peppers for those folks who want to at least pretend to get some veggies in their evening meal. We're also having pancakes with berries and real maple syrup, sausage, and fresh fruit. Yum.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
House has already used maggots. It's only a matter of time.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

About 13 or so years ago, a friend of mine lost a few fingers in an accident. At one point they had him use leeches. The deal was that blood was reaching the injured parts of his hand, but was not being returned into his circulatory sysytem due to damage to the veins. By having leeches suck the blood away, it allowed fresh oxygenated blood to continue to reach the injured areas.
lemme know if I should whitefont that....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Leeches I could do because they go away. Maggots stay inside of you forever and ever. I KNOW they die... on an intellectual level... FTR, if they ever need to stick maggots in me to save my life LIE TO ME FOREVER and say they did not.

Clearly, my ploy to reduce the ick factor here has failed.
