Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Gurewitz serves on the faculty of Yeshiva Tomchei Temimim in Migdal Haemek, Israel. He remembers how when his wife was expecting, she started feeling severe pains which impacted her breathing. After receiving a diagnosis, they were strongly urged by her doctor to go ahead with surgery. After asking the Rebbe a number of times about how to proceed, they finally received an answer - albeit not one that they or their doctor were expecting. (1979)
