[Avodah] The Gaon/Medicine

[Rich, Joel]

Here or on the blogs there has been discussion that the Gaon's father
told him not to study medicine because then he would have to heal people
(take time away from learning)

I was just listening to a shiur from R' HS where he said the gaon's
shita was that one did not go to doctors but prayed for a refuah.  It
was not the main point of the shiur so maybe there's more texture to it,
but I thought it of interest in this discussion.
