In this episode, we explore the halachos of applying and reapplying bandages with medicinal creams on Shabbos, including when they may be replaced if they fall, the role of a non-Jew in assisting with medical care, and the distinctions between biblical and rabbinic prohibitions. We also discuss handling boils, extracting pus versus blood, and related concerns of causing wounds. Practical guidance is given on wound dressings, avoiding permanent knots, changing soiled cloths for dignity and health, and preparing before Shabbos to minimize issues.
