is a person allowed to turn a feeding machine on shabbat for a severely brain damaged child that is fed through their stomache, given that using a syringe will not be efficient enough and also will send the food too quickly into the stomache?
also, with regards to working in a hospital in chutz laaretz where all the patients are non jews, what is the source allowing a jewish doctor who has to work on shabbos in this hospital- something about the way the non jews will treat us, if he doesnt?

2. It is permitted to treat a gentile on Shabbat.
