治驼背术。从前，山东平原城里有位医生开张营业，自称善治一切佝偻曲背，不管他背驼得像角弓，或腰弯得像大虾，一经治疗，马上就直，而且手术简便，价钱公道。有个人背驼得直里六尺，横里八尺，听说竟有这等神医，就吩咐家人连忙准备厚礼，前来求治。医生吩咐他脊背朝天，伏在地下，他就照着医生的吩咐做了，医生见到他趴在地下，然后对他说：趴好了，别动，否则到时候就治不好了。说完就跳上背去狠命踏将起来。驼背痛得杀猪一般号叫，嚷道：啊哟哟，要踩死我啊！这位医生边踏边说：我的招牌上不是明明白白写着专把驼背弄直，至于你的死活同我有啥相干。大道理：只管解决眼前的,局部的次要问题，而根本不管是否会妨害长远的,全局的主要方面，这种就事论事,简单粗暴的工作方法，总是要败事的。
