The overall incidence of Polycythemia Vera in the Minnesota population
is 1.9 per 100,000 person-years.
Nowhere near the incidence of lutenism.

Actually, yes. Our friends the leeches have been getting a second
look from some nostalgic medical researchers in recent years-
including, of course, a look at blood letting itself (apparently
draining off a little of the high-cholesterol excess from the
overfed & overweight has had its health benefits). In fact, leeches
were always available from some pharmacies in poor neighborhoods in
Philadelphia when we lived there back in the 70'S. (1970's!)
I prefer bleeding from more traditional manly pursuits-
steel-string guitar playing & using sharp objects around the house.
My wife has a fondness for dull paring knives.
Anyone for a rousing chorus of "Le Tableaux de l'Operation de la
Taille" by our famous 18th century medical survivor Marin Marais?

Including medical bloodletting etc.?
