Maybe it’s best NOT to reabsorb spilt blood the same way your don’t want water off of your basement/garage floor back in your supply pipes. Blood in your arteries is clean but once you’ve sustained a localized injury severe enough to release blood you want the janitor in there mopping it out of the way to allow fresh blood to lavage the area. There is no advantage to recycle damaged and dirty blood. Just make some new stuff.
Back when the system was getting set up a healthy recovery was more likely with dump and replace.
