i mean, as part of my job, i routinely take area hospitals medical grade leeches. it's not like they ever stopped being used by doctors.

Why would you use a leech instead of a needle or something? What are they for

Amputation sites I think? The suction attracts blood flow to the area and supports healing/retention of blood vessels... I think. Neither one of us clearly can be bothered googling but that's what I recall...

google makes things too easy. great thinks were thunked back in the day where people had nothing but their own minds to consult.
