[Avodah] Life saving vs. Torah Learning?

[Rich, Joel via Avodah]

From R' Aviner CPR Course
Q: What is preferable - a CPR course or learning Torah during that time?
A: Learning Torah, which resuscitates the soul. Learning Torah is equal to them all. Ha-Rav Moshe Feinstein wrote that while it is a Mitzvah to save people, there is no Mitzvah to study medicine (In his Teshuvah on whether or not it is permissible for a Cohain to study medicine. Shut Igrot Moshe, Yoreh Deah 2:155).

Interesting use of word preferable vs required/forbidden.  What "dvar reshut" (if you believe it exists) would ever be preferable to torah learning?
