Q. Can a nurse serve a non Jewish patient meals that contain cooked meat and milk during the year.
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit"a opinion is that it is permitted in need only, since there are several "Sfeikos" or doubts as to the nature of the prohibition in most common cases. Probably only a Rabbinical prohibition of Basar Vehalav is involved. The preparation may not entail the required act of Bishul or cooking proscribed by Halocho. There is also doubt as to what kind of meat and milk is being used and the amounts involved. All the above will create a Sfeik Sfeiko or double doubt condition, which albeit still prohibited for consumption, would render the meal permitted for benefit.
