Tosfos it seems he is obligated to pay for the damages because
these types of treatment are not included in the rule of “for the
good of the world.” According to the Ramban, if the surgery was
performed due to erroneous judgment, he is exempt in a human

Heavenly Court. This is what we can derive from the words of
Rabbi Yisrael of Kotna.
4. A physician who caused someone damage while speeding to the
hospital to save a life is exempt from payment because of “the
good of the world,” as long as he was driving carefully.
