Hospitals in Halacha – A Practical Guide for Visitors

description of book While staying with a patient in a health care facility, visitors and caregivers often encounter halachic questions that they have not previously faced. May one daven in the presence of a catheter? May one enter a bathroom on Shabbos if he will activate automatic lights? May one use the ‘call button’ on Shabbos to call a nurse for the choleh’s needs? May one leave food in a public place, unwatched?   These questions and many others are addressed in Hospitals in Halacha in a clear and concise manner. The answers are based on the rulings of leading Poskim and were reviewed by Harav Y. E. Forchheimer, Shlit”a.   Hardcover.
