I haven’t had a chance to see the ??? ??? yet, but I do plan to check it up.
I think your ????? is really interesting. How are we to reconcile the ???? of ????? ??? ??? ??? with the ???? of ???? ????
In addition to the ???? ?? from Rav Shlomo Zalman ZT”L, I would like to point out that ??? ????? ???? in ??????? ????? ???? ??”? ???? ?”? says that in a case where there is no medical chance of survival, one should not Daven for it, and that it is forbidden to ask Hashem to perform a miracle (his specific case is a ?? ?’ ????? which the Gemara says can not survive and it is ???? ???? ??? ????. Thanks to the miracle of modern medicine, such cases routinely survive and thrive nowadays).
I’ve only had time to do precursory research as of right now, and I haven’t found any sources on this yet. A thought which occurred to me is that perhaps the ???? of ?????? wasn’t [yet] at a terminal stage. The image of ??? ??? is perhaps different from illness because of the element of ?????.
