[Avodah] Social responsibility, halacha and psak

[Gershon Dubin]

From: Zeliglaw at aol.com

Obviously, one can raise the issue of Hatzalah EMTS and what they are
doing but  WADR, Hatzalah EMTs respond to instances of Pikuach Nefesh or
at least a safek  thereof, with Poskim ( RSZA and RMF) offering different
views as to what to do  once their response is over, as opposed to
serving on-call where one can argue  that much that occurs does not
amount to Pikuach efesh, 
unless one assumes that  Shabbos is completely Hutra. >>

Even if one says hutra, that does not include non-pikuach nefesh.  It
only
allows you to enter voluntarily into a (safek) pikuach nefesh.
