It's a joke (I think).

In the old days Doctors used to bleed a patient who was ill to let out the poison "I bled him but unfortunately he died".

That or he is implying that he did nothing but suck the blood for 30 years while others did the actual important work.

Good point. Opaque but that does make snarky humor sense.
