abstract: Blood letting has been documented in Denmark since the thirteenth century. In the following span of time the operation has always been part of both the established medicine and the informal, alternative health sector. The paper demonstrates, based on Danish sources, how the same procedure has been given widely different interpretations depending on the prevailing medical theories.
