What does the medical industry have in common with fishing?

They both use leaches and maggots.

The medical profession uses leaches to remove excess blood from wounds, maggots to eat dead flesh more accurately than a surgeon can remove it. Learned this from my diving buddy that happens to be a nurse. Call it leach therapy and maggot therapy.

Weird. I probably don't have to explain what they are used for in fishing.
