Sickness and Medicine

This is what my aunty shared with me. She said, before they went to see a doctor, they always pray to the Lord that they will find the right doctor.

Sirach 38: 9-15
Son, when you get sick, don't ignore it. Pray to the Lord, and he will make you well. Confess all your sins and determine that in the future you will live a righteous life. Offer incense and a grain offering, as fine as you can afford.
Then call the doctor for the Lord created him and keep him at your side, you need him. There are times when you have to depend on his skill.
The doctor's prayer is that the Lord will make him able to ease his patients' pain and make them well again.
As for the person who sins against his Creator, he deserves to be sick.
