Question
Should a patient in danger, who knows in advance that they need to undergo medical treatment on Shabbat, such as dialysis, stay near the medical center before Shabbat, or is it permissible for them to remain at home and even travel with a non-Jewish driver on Shabbat itself?
Answer
Hello,
Since it is known in advance that he will need to be at the hospital, he should travel to the vicinity of the hospital before Shabbat.
