BRACHOS SIGHT-SEEING 5 GOMEL 4 WHO

So we spoke about somebody that has to bench Goimel because Chavush, because they were imprisoned or because of a general sakana.

Let's talk about the next one, which is Yisurim.

If somebody suffers terrible pain or danger, anything that would go into the category of what we call something, something that would require Hillel Shabbos to save the person from any of that situation is considered a sakana.

I shouldn't say maybe a sakana, but at least Yisurim, enough to bench Goimel when the matter is clear.

Somebody that is laid to bed rest for three days in a way that is really, really uncomfortable, sickly, etc., not just because they broke a bone or something so they can't walk around, but bed rest due to chayli taking over their body, a fever that goes on for over three days straight, that would be something that is considered yesurim or chayla that would require geimal afterwards.

And even if it's something that's a bit repetitious, that it comes back from time to time, it's a recurring illness that the person has.

The bottom line is, each time that it recurs, chas v'shalom, for three days or more straight, and the person is bedridden for those three days, that is considered enough of a yesurim and a chayli that they would have to ben shgoymo when they come out of it.

However, they only bench Geimel similar to the guy that comes out of prison when they're totally out of the issue.

The fact that they still have it and it's not fully cured yet, etc., they're not going to bench Geimel.

But if it's a recurring issue that in between them he's totally back to his regular health and then just randomly it comes up again, then each and every single time that he is going to bed rest for over three days would require a separate Geimel afterwards.

Somebody that recovers and then just is taking preventative medicine for it to not to come back again is considered recovered and would make a bracha.

There's a big discussion if anybody has a surgery with general anesthesia.

Is that considered neufa l'mishkov and a situation of danger enough that even if it was less than three days, even an outpatient type of surgery, that perhaps the general anesthesia itself is considered a neufa l'mishkov and a sakana and a choyli and a yesurim that would be deserving of a goinah.

So therefore, if it was just pretty much a small surgery that for some side reason, general anesthesia was needed just to avoid pain or something like that, or some other side reason, then we would say the geimel without the sheymou malchus.

But if it was a serious surgery in the first place and naturally recurred, it was an invasive surgery, and therefore the general anesthesia was required, you might need a bracha for the invasive surgery in the first place.

And being that you have both the general anesthesia and the surgery, that would certainly require a geimel with the sheymou malchus.
