<div dir="ltr">In a continuation of a previous post in the very recent shiur of R. Zilberstein<br>he reiterated (in the name of R. Elyashiv) that there is a difference in choosing<br>priorities between private practice and a community.<br>
<br>One example was given a fixed budget to choose a drug that saves the lives of a few<br>or one that relieves severe pain (bit doesnt affect pikuach nefesh) of the many.<br>RYSE paskened that for the government they should choose to help the many because<br>
that is what most taxpayers would want. However, a private physician has to save<br>the life of the individual. The priorities in the gemara affect the individual and not the<br>tzibbur.<br>R Zilberstein used a similar principle in terms of choosing doctors and administrators<br>
in a hospital that the general rule is to choose the person that most (discriminating)<br>people would choose.<br><br>One of the participants asked what if a majority vote would be to fund a football stadium and not<br>a hospital. R Zilbetsein quoted a R. Chaim that most people are "shotim" and a majority vote<br>
doesnt account for such people<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Eli Turkel<br>
