PBA -““it is way different from for example being in hatzala where you regularly do melacha on shabbos for specific pikuach nefesh situations. Doctors treat shabbos like any other day.”
In NYC, Hatzolah guys are Mechallel Shabbos just like doctors are!
They drive themselves home, but in Lakewood, they get a Goy to drive them home.
(They don’t call the Goy on the radio, obviously.)
