For your information the bubonic plague led to buboes - huge balls of blood.

I had to cringe watching this as the joke of sucking a person off seemed to be the whole point of this video when in fact a doctor wouldn't need to look at the nether regions as a bubo is a bubo wherever it is and you clearly said the lumps were on the arms aswell also leeches inject anticoagulants into the victims bloodstream so as to ease blood-flow and thus would always be more effective than sucking on your own.

I take your point but this is not a historical documentary on the Bubonic Plague it is me trying to make James say and act out humorous things for my amusement and sometimes the amusement of the audience. It is a fact however that sores would commonly appear under the armpit and around the groin. This information came from a Italian physician who recorded it in his diary in 1349.
