What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

And we know that the obvious question is that if he's not going to make us sick, then why do we need a doctor? Right? It says all the sickness that I wrought against the Egyptians, I won't place upon you because I am Hashem your doctor. Well, if he's not going to make us sick, then why do we need a doctor for? And Rabbeinu Bachya and the Pnei Rosa in the name of Reb Yaakov, who was a Rishon, says the same answer that rofeh is also a preventive specialist. And it means that I am Hashem your And it means that I am Hashem your doctor that will ensure that you do not get sick, that will prevent you from becoming sick. And indeed, they say over that when the Rambam was in Egypt and he was in the palace, the palace doctor, the king said to him, "They say you're a great doctor, but I don't remember you ever healing me of anything." So, the Rambam chuckled and he said, "I am such a doctor that I direct you and I train you in proper eating habits and I train you in proper eating habits and proper sleeping habits and proper exercise habits that you don't get sick. And that's the type of doctor that the Ribbono shel Olam is, ani Hashem rofecha. Now, this has halachic ramifications because we know in davening in the eighth bracha, so it's the eighth bracha because uh refuah is connected to milah because the baby needs to be healed. So, the eighth bracha of Shmoneh Esrei is refa'einu.
