But that is discussing where ther...Excellent point!<br />But that is discussing where there is a danger to life and limb. The doctor was discussing when there is no element of danger (as is clear in the piece) see Rashi there. <br />You could have asked a stronger question from Bava Kama 81b. There we find that if someone sees another blundering around in orchards or fields that he is obligated to set him on his way because hashavas aveidah also applies to aveidas haguf. <br />But there is also no proof to a doctor since Rashi explains there that the verse "you shall return it to him," means his money and his body as well. <br />No proof from here that a doctor must always be available to help another with any minor ailment. <br />I do believe that you have hit on the Rambam's source (especially in conjunction with Bava Kama,) however, and I thank you for calling this to my attention. <br />I think the reason why the lamdan in the story thought the Rav's chidush was outlandish was because he had never seen an inkling of this in halachic sources. If some friend of his had proposed this chidush, I could understand if he strongly disagreed. Of course, disagreeing with someone's chidush does not permit publicly mocking him, even if he erred and especially if the person in question is a Rav or Rebbe. <br />But this is not the only such story. There were many who thought they knew better than the Satmar Rav in lomdus...but only until they looked into the matter. That doesn't mean his way is the only way; but it was definitely a valid path.Micha Golshevskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045918723171240420.post-69244926788501635882009-06-30T17:39:30.614+03:002009-06-30T17:39:30.614+03:00Sanhedrin 73ASanhedrin 73AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
