Is this an indication of the level of medical care you expected from this administration? If so and there are many others like you, it could explain why CV19 cases continue to climb.
Leeches are not used in the manner of the days of yore.
There are modern legitimate medical needs for specific cases for when, where or why leeches are used today in Modern Hospitals.
snippets from article...
“We always have leeches on hand,” says Vishal Thanik, a plastic surgeon at New York City’s Bellevue Hospital and New York University’s Langone Medical Center.
Despite leeches’ historic ties to medical quackery, they do have a legitimate place in modern medicine as a sort of reverse transfusion in cases of imbalanced blood circulation.
One of the first times leeches were used this way was in 1985 on a five-year-old whose ear was bitten off by a dog. A few days after surgeons sewed the organ back on, "it turned blackish blue from blood congestion," according to an
account in
The New York Times. After failed efforts to drain the blood-filled ear with anti clotting agents and small cuts, Harvard physician Joseph Upton attached two leeches and "the ear perked up right away." Twenty years later, in 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved
leeches as medical devices for use in plastic surgery (making them, along with maggots, the first living creature the agency green lit for clinical use).
To reattach a severed finger, for example, a surgeon will pin bones back together, connect severed tendons and nerves, re-plumb the vascular circulation, and sew skin back in place. In some instances, newly attached arteries flood more blood into the finger than can be pumped out by newly re-connected veins leading to swollen, purplish fingers. That imbalance in blood flow can threaten the finger’s healing, and, in some instances, prevent its survival.
“You need to get blood out of that finger, one way or another,” Rochester’s Reavey says. “Leeches work great.”
But leech therapy is not just about blood-sucking. Leech saliva contains various bioactive compounds including anticoagulants, anesthetics, antihistamines, and vessel dilators. “They secrete these substances that are like medications,” Prsic says.
I could provide more information from the article...
But, hopefully what I have provided above ^ is sufficient to prove the use of leeches are no longer used stupidly as in the days of yore.
