[ה'תשל"ב]

הגעתני שמועה שכאילו אינו מקיים — ח"ו — הוראות הרופא.

שלום וברכה!

ובאם אמיתית היא – בודאי בהקדם יתחיל לקיימן וכדבעי, ובפרט שזהו

דין

מפורש בשו"ע וכו' – ויבשר טוב.

אזכיר עה"צ.

It has reached me that supposedly he is not following — G‑d forbid — the doctor's instructions.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

If this is true, he should certainly begin to follow them properly without delay, especially since this is an explicit ruling in Shulchan Aruch, etc. — and may there be good news. I will mention it at the Tziyun.


Summary

The Rebbe stresses that following medical advice is a clear Torah obligation and urges prompt adherence for one's wellbeing.
