Pony- my guess is that you would need more information to find out the particulars. For example, you may be forbidden to do something that has a certain percent chance of causing death, but you may need a higher percent chance to override a halachik obligation. If a doctor says “it’s dangerous”, is he referring to a 20% chance, 5%, .02%? Any of these may be enough to require you to follow the precautions, but some may not be enough to restrict you from hearing laining.
It sounds simple and everyone is happy to jump in but there are more pieces to it.
