Case involving a neighbor some years ago
5 year old fell down knocking out front baby tooth. Mom panicked called Hatzalah. 5 units responded on Shabbos. You tell me, should mom have called Hatzalah? I would say the answer is obvious. Yet these cases do happen.
And while we are at it
End of life cases, spouses having hospitals call on Shabbos to let children know that dad passed away.
Or asking the hospital to call and let grandma know that a baby is born.
People can be cavalier about Shabbos when emotions run high.
I don’t blame the doctors, hatzalah or the goy in the hospital picking up the phone. People need to take a minute and think about Shabbos. (unless of course that minute is the difference between life and death)
