The premise
Here’s the bit.
In the afterlife waiting room, Diodorus tells Death about a Greek doctor who promised to straighten his spine. The treatment succeeds in a grimly literal way, leaving Death delighted by both the mishap and an opportunity for a pun. Diodorus is admitted to the afterlife while his interviewer relishes another satisfying day at work.
