First of all
“and you’ll stop pretending that all do ”
I did no such thing and in fact said the opposite on more than one occasion
secondly, back up a second
this thread was about someone asking about ” who want to be doctors but live a frum life”
to that end he/she asked a few specific questions that were adressed.
you then brought up Shabbos in a hilarious fashion.
I pointed out that regarding Shabbos there is a lot of variability. Though agreed it was an issue/challenge.
You then wrongly generalized “The bottom line is that if you become a doctor, you will probably no longer keep shabbos. ”
I pointed out a few more times that this wasnt always the case, though agreeing that it was a challenge. and you repeated your false information a few more times, (hilariously as always)
At no point did I ever say it was never an issue or that “all doctors kept Shabbos” you created a strawman while repeating your wrong contention
And again, while you seem to be getting the bulk of your info from my uncles cousin who knew somebody, he isnt a good source of information, and sadly youve been misinformed.

“Frum doctors are sometimes forced to take call on Shabbos, but why is this different than hatzalah? ”
It generally isnt , though it depends on a lot of specifics and the exact nature of the call. Obviously an internist who drives to manage the local urgent care treating sore throats and fevers isnt the same as hatzolah. But I dont know any frum peple who do this (though that isnt to say there are some who do it under some “doctor heter” that I am not aware of.)
“Generally being on call means taking emergency calls. Why are people on this site thinking that doctors just go into work on Shabbos as if it is a regular day?”
Ive wondered the same I think it is because they dont run out in middle of Shul with sirens blazing off to save the day. IT just doesnt carry the same panache, as one poster put it “Doctors put on their work clothes, go to their regular job” saving lives * being deprived of the post life saving “yell[ing] at their kids and swill scotch and fall asleep on couch”
*Please dont mistake this for a generalization, while not all physicians save lives on a day to day basis, many do, it is this limited group that I am referring to when I say they are no different than hatzolah.
