Try to wish that krishna eradicates his Karma. I was once walking down a park and saw a man- probably 60, 65 but the sad thing is at that age he is walking with his head down. He just can't lift his head, if you talk to him, he talks to you while looking at the ground. Its sad, but thats karma. Everything in this world is karma , from the second you are born to the second you die. Its all karma. So, whatever you do, it is not in your hand and thats sad, I know.
All we can hope is give up to lord Sri Krishna and he will mold our karma in such a way that he will free you. I will pray for your friend, I hope he gets better. Krishna can do miraculous things (I hope).
