hashkafah philosophy - Why go to the doctor?


According to Jewish belief, God gives you sicknesses and God gives you cures. If you are sick it's because God wants you to be sick. Once he deems that you no longer need the disease you are then cured.


This can be inferred from the first of the Thirteen Principles of Jewish faith and many other sources:



Belief in the existence of the Creator, who is perfect in every manner of existence and is the Primary Cause of all that exists.




If this is so, why bother with ever going to the doctor?
