Question
A woman needs to receive a Clexane injection in the abdomen for blood thinning, and the injection may cause internal bruising like a blue mark, but no blood comes out. On Shabbat, is it preferable for a non-Jew to administer the injection, or can a Jewish woman do it?
Answer
If a bruise always appears, it should be done by a non-Jew. If there is no non-Jew available, it is permitted even by a Jew [if there is a danger to life]. If a bruise does not always appear, it can initially be done by a Jew.
