 Each medical practice included in the rules of my world is a useful procedure, developed largely by the lower classes who do not have access to spells and magical cures, those things being in the possession of the upper classes (who are not inclined to share). It must be noted that while in the real world, bloodletting is a practice that offers little aid to patients, within D&D this practice can easily be reimagined as something effective in the treatment of persons injured in peculiar ways. This is in no way less credible than the game's invention of magic.
