00:00:07.444 --> 00:00:11.311
Bloodletting was not part of our treatment plan. 

2
00:00:12.177 --> 00:00:15.200
By coincidence I happened to see how it's done. 

3
00:00:15.711 --> 00:00:18.533
Leeches are placed on the area showing symptoms, 

4
00:00:18.530 --> 00:00:21.333
in this case on the joints of the toes.

5
00:00:22.377 --> 00:00:24.288
The leeches suck out the bad blood 

6
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.822
and once the patient begins to feel itchiness in the treated area, 

7
00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:29.600
the treatment is done.

8
00:00:30.911 --> 00:00:34.533
After the procedure the blood is milked from the leeches 

9
00:00:34.533 --> 00:00:36.530
so they wouldn't die. 

10
00:00:37.577 --> 00:00:41.000
Once recovered they're up for new challenges.
