Well, I have worked at an abbatoir for some years. It's a place where pigs and cattle are killed. Usually by opening the main arteries in the neck. See illustrations below.

I also worked on an ambulance. Incidentally, we had to bleed parts of people's body, because of local high blood pressure, blood contamination, etc. Of course, this is not the ideal treatment, but it works in emergencey cases.


(This is called 'horizontal bleeding'; we usually did 'vertical bleeding'.)

This explains so much. I've had an epiphany !
