Without such permission they'd have no right to hurt people and spill
their blood in order to heal them.  Also, without such permission we
might well think that it's wrong to interfere with Hashem's plans; if
Hashem wants someone to be sick, who are we to heal them?  "Verapo
yerape" shows that Hashem wants us to do whatever we can; if He wants
the person not to be healed, none of our efforts will help anyway.
