acts of draining blood as medical treatment, withdrawals of blood, historical medical practice of blood removal

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Bloodlettings were once believed to balance the bodily humors and restore health in patients suffering from fevers. The old medical records describe several bloodlettings performed on the king during his prolonged illness in the sixteenth century. Many physicians eventually rejected bloodlettings when scientific research showed that the procedure often weakened patients instead of curing them. Historians examine the tools used for bloodlettings to understand how early doctors approached the treatment of various diseases. The practice of bloodlettings declined sharply after modern medicine introduced safer and more effective ways of treating infections.
