Self-styled China doctors nabbed for performing ‘bloodletting therapy’ to ‘remove’ evil energy

Unlicensed ‘medical staff’ sink long needle into man’s arm to extract blood; dump dirty equipment and stained gauze swabs on ‘clinic’ floor

Footage of three people performing the therapy on a man, which was released by Shanghai TV recently, shocked social media.

The video shows that three self-styled doctors insert a long needle into a man’s arm before letting the blood flow out along the needle, forming a small pool of blood on the floor.

They reassured the man that the therapy would only release about 100ml of his blood.

They also shared with him the “common sense” that “a healthy person’s blood will not flow out from the needle”, to convince him that “evil energy” had been removed from his body.

The so-called doctors did not wear medical gloves or masks. Cotton balls and stained gauze they used were also thrown randomly on the floor.
