[Avodah] eiva

<<I'm not trying to reason from anything (yet), I'm simply trying to find
out what you see as the parameters of the post-1800 heter. Is it only
applicable to life-or-death situations?>>

To the best of my knowledge ALL Israeli hospitals including the
religious ones treat nonJewish
patients on shabbat. Hence, obviously eivah means that not treating
such patients would be
a PR disaster with its implications and certainly not life-or-death in
any direct sense.
