"phiebutmy works china"...not sure yet.
1.12.2007Hey there Brian,
Your dream says "phlebotomy". That word today is mostly used to refer to
technicians drawing a patient's blood to test it. In the orient, though, it
is still used therapeutically. Acupuncturists today still use various forms
of phelbotomy.

Thanks again Bonnie...by the way how are you doing?Brian
Here is an article that explains that use of the word. ~ bonnie w ~

Phlebotomy: The Ancient Art of Bloodletting
Practitioner Letting BloodThe practice of bloodletting seemed logical when
the foundation of all medical treatment was based on the four body humors:
blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Health was thought to be
restored by purging, starving, vomiting or bloodletting.
The art of bloodletting was flourishing well before Hippocrates in the fifth
century B.C. By the middle ages, both surgeons and barbers were specializing
in this bloody practice. Barbers advertised with a red (for blood) and white
(for tourniquet) striped pole. The pole itself represented the stick
squeezed by the patient to dilate the veins.
Bloodletting came to the U. S. on the Mayflower. The practice reached
unbelievable heights in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The first U.S.
president, George Washington, died from a throat infection in 1799 after
being drained of nine pints of blood within 24 hours. The draining of 16-30
ounces (one to four pints) of blood was typical. Blood was often caught in a
shallow bowl. When the patient became faint, the "treatment" was stopped.
Bleeding was often encouraged over large areas of the body by multiple
incisions. By the end of the 19th century (1875-1900), phlebotomy was
declared quackery.
A variety of devices were used to draw blood:
* The lancet was first used before 5th Century B.C. The vein was
manually perforated by the practitioner. Many shallow cuts were sometimes
made.
Spring Loaded Lancets
* Spring loaded lancets came into use during the early 18th Century. The
device was cocked and a "trigger" fired the spring-driven blade into the
vein.
* The fleam was heavily used during the 18th and 19th centuries. Many
varieties exist. Sometimes a wooden "fleam stick" was used to hit the back
of the blade and drive it into the vein. (Ouch!) The fleam was often used by
veterinarians.
The Scarificator
* The scarificator, a series of twelve blades, was also in vogue during
the 18th Century, This device was cocked and the trigger released
spring-driven rotary blades which caused many shallow cuts. The scarificator
seems more merciful than the other blood-letting instruments.
Blood was caught in shallow bowls. During the 17th to 19th centuries, blood
was also captured in small flint glass cups. Heated air inside the cups
created a vacuum causing blood to flow into the cup - a handy technique for
drawing blood from a localized area. This practice was called cupping.
Flint Cup
The data above is based on Antique Medical Instuments by C. Keith Wilbur,
M.D. (1987). For more details, see Bloodletting Instruments by A. Davis and
T. Appel (1983).
ONLINE INFORMATION: The UCLA Biomedical Library has a multi-page exhibit on
bloodletting including graphics of bloodletting devices. Bloodletting
Antiques by Douglas Arbittier, M.D. features fast-loading thumbnails of
devices, leach bowls and cupping sets. For other ancient devices, see Greek
and Roman Surgical Instruments, part of the Asclepion, a University of
Indiana site devoted to the study of ancient medicine.
