תוס' ד"ה שכל

For every ill person who sees it, is immediately healed - שכל חולה שרואה אותה מיד מתרפא

Summary:
We may assume that even before יעקב people were sick from wounds inflicted externally; or we may assume that people were sick with manageable illnesses, but not with terminal illnesses until יעקב. After יעקב until אלישע no one was healed from a ‘terminal’ illness.
