LEV672 Nahmanides also finds that the obligation of the physician to heal is inherent in the commandment, "And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self" [this verse] (Torat ha-adam, Kitvei Ramban, ed. Bernard Chavel (Jerusalem, 5724), II, 43). As an instantiation of the general obligation to manifest love and concern for one's neighbor, the obligation to heal encompasses not only situations posing a threat to life and limb or demanding restoration of impaired health but also situations of lesser gravity warranting medical attention for relief of pain and promotion of well-being (See R. Eliezer Waldenberg, Ramat Rahel, no. 21).
