The key word here is “believe.” You can’t say one way or another, can you? If you attribute this healing to “the skill endowed upon our physicians” then you have to attribute everything else to “the skill endowed upon X” whatever X may be. Anything and everything we do requires some skill. Why is this one skill special?
The baby learned to walk, due to the god given skill endowed upon it.
That was an excellent musician, due to the god endowed skill.
He is a very, very poor athlete, yet he is still using his god endowed skill.
Etc, etc. Everything.
I believe the skill endowed upon our physicians came from medical school. What is taught in medical school comes from what we have learned in the past, each generation adding to that knowledge. Currently, we can re-attach some severed limbs. In a future generation, who knows?
What makes more sense? A magical imaginary being endowed these skills upon our physicians, or they learned these skills in medical schools?
Yes, I am no theologian, but I recognize “god works in mysterious ways” when I see it. That is the basic rebuttal to the question “why doesn’t god heal amputees,” just re-worded. That is also the only rebuttal to the other nine questions as well.
