A question on Taanis: so the good doctor gets 7x visits from yeshiva shel maaleh over Abaye.
First, why such unusual “yeshivish” distinction – not Eliyahu talking to him, or golden table in olam habo. I guess this also means that he is not an Am Haaertz DESPITE (tm YYA) being a doctor.
Why are they visiting? do they ask him questions? do they teach him? do they have a pleasere talking to a doctor with middos?
And one more: surely in the shamaim they are aware that bloodletting is not as helpful as advertised, so they good doctor might have killed a number of patients – and they still respect him “for the effort”. Or maybe they were coming so often – to warn him not to do bad medicine and save his zechus from the gehinom that was awaiting other doctors!?
