It says כל המחלה אשר שמתי במצרים לא אשים עליך כי אני ה’ רפאך, all illness which are placed on Mitzraim I will not place on you because I am Hashem your healer. We see that Hashem is the Healer before the illness has arrived. By the doctor, healer is referred to by a ‘peh’ as yerapoh yerapeh whereas by Hashem by an ‘feh’ rofecha. The Rabbenu Bachaya explains that a doctor’s cure is hard whereas Hashem’s is light. The doctor has a double expression, requiring to return to cure the side affects or get a second opinion, which by Hashem is not required.
