The Torah gave permission to Doctors to heal and therefore someone ill may not rely on miracle, but must go see a doctor and follow his instructions.
Somebody who ignores medical advice is not only endangering his life but is also considered to be arrogant; rather he should use the top expert in the field.
That said, a person needs to realize that the actual cure comes from The One Above and should pray that his doctor be a successful messenger to heal him.
