The prescriptive “should” applies equally to adhering the advice of my rav when opining on matters of halacha and adhering to the advice of a respected physician on matters of medical care etc….the point is obvious. I don’t ask my doctor to paskan on arba minim nor do I ask my rav to paskin on my EKG. I “may” accept the Rav’s advice if he has good eitzah on meditation/relaxation techniques to lower my blood pressure or the name of one of the daveners who might get me in to see a cardiac specialist at Hopkins w/o a 3 month wait.
