DownloadOn December 14th, 1799,
former US President George Washington woke struggling for breath,
his throat searing with pain.
He died later that day,
from what’s suspected to have been a badly infected epiglottis,
but not before he was prescribed an enema, steam therapy,
and rigorous bloodletting.
During four bleeding sessions, Washington lost approximately two liters—
roughly 40%— of his body’s blood supply.
