The story of the doctor's nephew seems to contrast medical science with spiritual healing. What does Chapter 34 say about this?

Chapter 34 presents a clear narrative where spiritual healing succeeds after medical science has been exhausted. The family's first recourse was medicine; the boy's uncle was a 'degree-holding doctor,' and they consulted 'expert and intelligent surgeons.' The text emphasizes the failure of these efforts, stating that doctors 'became exhausted and felt helpless' and that 'all native and foreign treatments were tried.' It was only when these remedies reached their limit that the family turned to a spiritual path, hearing of the 'famous Avaliya (saint) living in Shirdi.' Sai Baba's simple act of giving Udi is positioned as the ultimate, effective solution for an 'incurable' disease, suggesting that faith and divine grace can offer healing where conventional methods fail.
