Kavod Harav
Is a Jew permitted to break Shabbat (pikuach nefesh) for a non Jew? Specifically:
1. A non-Jew is having a heart attack and needs help – his neighbours are not in the vacinity
2. I have looked in the kitzur shulchan aruch and the shulchan aruch but have not found an answer – perhaps I looked in the wrong place.Please give me chapter and verse
3. Is the answer min HaTorah or min Rabbanan?
Thank you

The great Poskim of this generatio n have already ruled to break Shabbat for saving the life of a non-Jew.
Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach ruled that this holds even if the doctor is alone with the patient. See Nishmat Avraham, Vol. I (Orach Chaim) section 330/8 (end of paragraph 1), Hebrew- new edition, 2007.
רופא הנשים שלי הפחיד אותי ואמר לי כי מאחר ואני נוטלת גלולות סרזט אני חייבת לשתות ביום הכיפורים. האם ישנו סיכון אם אצום כהלכה?
אני נשואה כשנה ויש לי בעיה של ואגיניזמוס מה אעשה עם בדיקות הטהרה?
Where can I obtain info about the shabbat pen for Doctors on call? Thank you
