However, there is no medical reason that compels the patient to leave his home where his medicine is kept.

There is a tendency, on fast days, for people to concentrate upon the calamities of the past and on the stages that led up to the destruction of the Temple. People reflect on the distant past when they aught - says the Rambam - consider the present.
Rabbi Eliyahu Brin | Tamuz 5758
The Breaking of the Tablets on the Seventeenth of Tammuz
The Tree of Knowledge contained a mixture of elements - both good and evil. This, then, was Adam's sin: He ate from the tree, and this caused existence to fall to a level whereupon there existed a mixture of both good and evil.
