医学史上充斥着对医生的流行术语：sawbones，源于一种程序; shrink，源于一种过程; leech，源于一种工具。最近我最感兴趣的一个词，也是我今天讨论的起点，就是”水蛭“。“这个词可以追溯到19世纪的世纪，那时水蛭和医生的联系就像今天的听诊器（或HMO）一样普遍。当你和我在医学院的时候，如果提到水蛭，那是在一个纳秒长的讨论中，讨论我们已经从过去的糟糕日子走了多远，那时问题和解决方案，因果关系，疾病和治疗都是如此的不了解。水蛭就在下面，有驱魔的恶魔，大蒜项链，还有穿过心脏的银木桩。
The history of medicine is littered with popular terms for physicians: sawbones, originating from a procedure; shrink, from a process; and leech, from a tool. The term which has most interested me recently and which is the launch for my discussion today is" leech." This is a term that goes back to the 19th century, when leeches were as commonly associated with physicians as stethoscopes (or HMOs) today.When you and I were in medical school, if leech was mentioned at all, it was in a nanosecond-long discussion of how far we have come from the bad old days when problem and solution, cause and effect, illness and cure were so little understood. Leecheswere right down there with exorcising demons, garlic necklaces, and silver stakes through the heart.
