According to the explicit decree of Bahá’u’lláh one must not
turn aside from the advice of a competent doctor. It is imperative to consult
one even if the patient himself be a well-known and eminent physician. In
short, the point is that you should maintain your health by consulting a
highly-skilled physician.

‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
