Blood letting is a practice that certainly goes back to the oldest parts of antiquity. I was not started in the Middle Ages, but certainly before the iron age began, and possibly in prehistory. It is known to have been used in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, and it is also known to have been used among the Mayans and Aztecs, so it is not even peculiar to the Old World.
