Talmud for Shabbat 216:11

⁹⁰From here to almost the end of the Halakhah the text is from Avodah zarah 2:2, Notes 83–137. The colleagues in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Zavda: Anything inside of the lips one heals on the Sabbath⁹¹In the Babli Avodah zarah 28a, this is the position of Rebbi Immi. Since medical practice usually involves activities biblically forbidden on the Sabbath, such as compounding medicines and ointments or surgical interventions, also healing activities which do not involve these prohibitions are rabbinically forbidden on the Sabbath. However, if a condition is life-threatening, Sabbath prohibitions do not apply. A declaration that “one heals such-and-such a condition on the Sabbath” is the equivalent of declaring the condition as life-threatening.. Rebbi Ze‘ira objected, did we not state: “One whose teeth are aching may not sip¹³The vinegar would be swallowed only after it was kept in the mouth around the aching tooth for some time. vinegar,”? Is this not inside from the lips? [Rebbi Ze‘ira]⁹²Added from the text in Avodah zarah. did not say so, but Rebbi Ze‘ira in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Zavda: Anything inside a body cavity one heals on the Sabbath⁹³Babli 27b/28a, in the name of R. Joḥanan.. Rebbi Ze‘ira, Rebbi Abba bar Zuṭra, Rebbi Ḥanina in the name of Rebbi: One treats the bone of the skull on the Sabbath⁹⁴Any injury to the skull.. Rebbi Ḥiyya the Mede, Rebbi Jona, Rebbi Ze‘ira, Rebbi Abba bar Zuṭra, Rebbi Ḥanina in the name of Rebbi: One treats glands of the throat⁹⁵Babli Avodah zarah 28b. The translation used here of “daughters of the ear” is an interpretation of Rashi’s explanation in the Babli: “Sinews of the ear which sometimes are lowered and keep the jaws open; then it is necessary to lift them and this is dangerous.” on the Sabbath. Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: One treats an infected eye⁹⁶“An eye which rebelled”: it feels as if the eye would leave its place. Babli Avodahzarah 28b. on the Sabbath. There, they say in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Tops of hands and feet are a danger⁹⁷Any wounds at these places are considered life-threatening. Babli Avodah zarah 28a.. Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Red color is dangerous⁹⁸Dark red color of a wound is an indication of a life-threatening infection.. Rebbi Abin said, one removes the sting of a scorpion on the Sabbath. Rav said, wine for exterior treatment of the eye is permitted, inside the eye it is forbidden. Samuel said, tasteless spittle is forbidden for the eye on the Sabbath⁹⁹Babli 108b, with the names of Rav and Samuel switched. Since people sometimes put wine on their eyelids for non-medical reasons, it is permitted to do the same for minor aches for which medical intervention would be forbidden on the Sabbath. From this you infer for lichen¹⁰⁰A skin disease, purely external.. The rabbis of Caesarea said, ranula¹⁰¹“Frog” (Aramaic), Latin ranula, an infection of the mouth. is dangerous. Rebbi Ḥizqiah from Acco in the name of the rabbis of Caesarea: spider sickness¹⁰²This may either describe the bite of a spider or more likely a cancerous growth looking like a spider. is dangerous. Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac: gangrene is dangerous. Rebbi Jeremiah said, one can put sour dough on it on Passover¹⁰³Using leavened matter on Passover is a deadly sin but for medical purposes in life-threatening situations it may be used without hesitation.. A boil is permitted.¹⁰⁴A boil filled with pus may be opened on the Sabbath. Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah says this¹⁰⁵Mishnah 17:2. As explained in Chapter 17 one may move a vessel on the Sabbath only if it is of any use on this day. A sewing needle cannot be used for its usual function on the Sabbath but may be used to remove a thorn in one’s foot or to open a boil.: “A small needle to remove a thorn.” Otherwise, what is the difference between a thorn and a boil? Darkening of the eye¹⁰⁶This may describe a cataract or glaucoma., they asked Rebbi Jeremiah. He told them, is not Rebbi Abba available for you? They asked Rebbi Abba who permitted. He¹⁰⁷R. Jeremiah. told them, also I am permitting it.
