[Avodah] pikuach nefesh

[Zev Sero]

The thing is, I can easily accept that there might be a heter for his
having taken the call, based on "mefakchin al tzorchei tzibur beshabbos".
Talking on a phone which is already connected is probably not an issur
de'oraisa even on Shabbos, and on yomtov hav'oroh is muttar, so that's
not a problem, and if one can somehow turn this into a shvus-dishvus
then tzorchei tzibbur would be enough to justify it.

But invoking pikuach nefesh seems out of left field.
