Explain why doctors long ago used bloodletting to treat their patients. Use text evidence to support your answer.

English
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago

In Ancient times, sickness was thought to be caused by an excess of blood. Therefore, doctors would cut into their patients and let some of the blood out to help cure them. This theory advanced into thinking that the human body needed all of its "humors" to be balanced: blood was one of the humors so if  the doctor thought you had an imbalance, they would 'let' some of the blood out.

Can someone paraphrase lines 1-16 in Billy Collins poem "The Trouble with Poetry". Thanks
zubka84 [21]
<span>While walking on the beach the author realized what is wrong with poetry. Collins begins to explain that one poet wrote a poem and people liked it so it made even more people become poets. Now EVERYONE thinks they are poets. He goes on to say that it will end when people realize that poets do not write anything of actual substance. Eventually the rise of poets will die down and they will hold their heads down low.</span>
