Is there a difference in connotation between החלמה מהירה and the more traditional רפואה שלימה?

In any event, I second the good wishes.

I was thinking about the same question when I wrote it. In modern Israeli Hebrew החלמה מהירה seems to be more common, although I don’t know why.

Sad. He was my closest first cousin since age 5.
He was a great archeologist, patriot, family man and a Mentch.
Ehud Mencel-Netzer Z”L.
From far away I am with you, Dvora and children.
