Blood-sucking worms (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leeches

(Other definitions for leeches that I've seen before include "Bloodsucking parasites" , "Physicians once" , "hard to shake off?" , "Doctors once used them to bleed patients" , "hangers-on" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
