Healing A Hump
by Luke Chan
A man went to
see a healer about his back. The man would have been six feet tall, but being a
hunchback, he now stood only about four feet above the ground. The infirmity
should have been healed at an earlier age, but the man couldn't afford medical
treatment until now. The healer was glad to see his deformed patient coming in
with a sack of gold.
"Doctor,
if you can heal my back, this gold will be yours," said the man and put
the gold on a table. "I have healed many hunchbacks before, and I can
heal you in no time," replied the healer as he took the gold and
signaled his patient to lay on the ground with his hump up.
"Ah!"
the patient yelled in tears as the healer jumped on his back. "Are
you trying to kill me?" he asked alarmingly. "Please don't ask
any questions. Let me take care of your back!" replied the healer as he
readied himself to jump again. The hunchback crawled to his feet and fled.
What Do You See?
The healer saw
only the gold and the hump, but not the man who had them. I have read that many
unnecessary surgeries are performed every year in the United States. I won't try
to explain why this happens, but if I had a hump and a lot of money, I would be
very careful.
