If the gedolei rabbonim issue an edict on how to behave in a medical situation or, for that matter, on how handle the water pipes in your home, you’re required to follow their decision. End of discussion. The gedolei rabbonim themselves know what is and what is not within their purview to rule upon for the klan and for the yochid. If in fact they rule upon any given situation, be it kashrus, be it medical or be it the piping system in your home, you must follow through and carry out their decision.
