My impression is the discussion had centered around whether making an x-ray image is "writing"; I hadn't thought about the analogy from an x-ray tube to an incadescent bulb -- but isn't there talk about solid-state x-ray machines?Shalom Rosenfeldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-16188683611162091192011-06-15T19:36:09.562-04:002011-06-15T19:36:09.562-04:00In one with regard to an automobile there,in my op...In one with regard to an automobile there,in my opinion, is no question everything should be done because other injuries may be detected because of the impact of the car as opposed to the bicycle.<br />But if any question we are machmir in pikuach nefesh.<br />Rav Chaim Brisker was asked why are you so makil with regard to health issues.He stated I am not-I am machmir in pikuach nefesh.daat ynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-67249748292333748012011-06-15T19:24:58.313-04:002011-06-15T19:24:58.313-04:00With regard to three Rav Asher Weiss states it can...With regard to three Rav Asher Weiss states it can be performed by a non-Jew,if it couldn't be performed prior to Shabbat.<br />Techumin 23.<br />One and two are dependent on that the sickness of the "evor" can lead to safek pikuach nefesh ex.systemic infection and there for would be permissible.daat ynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-5995483634251373492011-06-15T18:38:38.254-04:002011-06-15T18:38:38.254-04:00Thanks, all.

So they are like an incandescent bulb which everyone agrees cannot be switched on on Shabbat. So it wouldn't make a difference whether the xray is being taken with a digital sensor versus film (was that the basis of comparing the two? ie. image on a screen vs developing film?). Maybe use of a gramma switch might help. The issue I think is whether the limb is in danger and whether it could just as well be treated without the xray or not.<br /><br />In case #2, I believe xrays are routinely done with these symptoms to rule out pneumonia, not to rule out cancer. But since suspected pneumonia could start to be treated with antibiotics without the xray, I would think the xray could wait. I don't see the difference between xray and CT scan; both use xrays and have the hot filament issue.Michael Mirskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-18231610408732157832011-06-15T16:20:26.090-04:002011-06-15T16:20:26.090-04:001&2: As my father's posek says:
