Tishrei for Medical Professionals: Switching Calls — Prioritizing Between Shabbos and Chaggim
This is part two of a four-part series for medical professionals.
While in training, and sometimes when practicing medicine, a medical professional is required to work on Shabbos and Yom Tov. Does halacha offer guidelines about whether not working on a Shabbos should be prioritized over not working on the High Holidays or vice versa, when one has to choose between the two?
