In the middle ages there were a lot of Medical theories about the blood.
If you got sick, it was often believed to be b/c of "bad blood".
So to make people healthy, you had to get rid of the "bad blood".
It was called blood letting, and there were different methods for this.
Cupping was one, letting leeches suck was Another.
So a steady stock of hungry leeches was a required tool for many medieval doctors.
A leech collector would be the one who supplied the doctors with leeches.
