Preventive Medicine Tip (8:00) – Blood Pressure Screening (https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/)

Medical Trivia (Answer at 42:50) – Blood-letting originated with ancient Greeks (Hippocrates and Galen) and the four humor theory of disease. Too much of a good thing (blood) was deemed a bad thing (disease), and so the blood had to be removed. (or black bile, or yellow bile, or phlegm)

Surprisingly, blood-letting has not gone the way of the Do-Do Bird, Passenger Pigeon, and Disco Dancing, but is still among us.

Can you name one of the three disease still legitimately treated by blood-letting? While you may not know the name of the diseases, think about what condition in the body might required removing whole blood for the health of the body. As a clue, I have prescribed this in the past for a certain skin condition.
