– Q. See question above. Can one rely on the AI program above on Shabbat to call the doctor or emergency services, so he won’t do it himself, or should he be machmir (stringent) on Pikuach Nefesh (life danger) and call himself directly?

A. An expert should be consulted as to the efficiency of the unit involved. In any doubt, when engaged in live saving needs, one should be machmir on Pikuach Nefesh and call directly for medical assistance.
