You _are_ making it up.

I have many family members who are in the medical profession in Israel. I have been behind the desk on Shabbat in Shaarei Tzedek Hospital (the "Haredi" hospital) that accepts incoming patients.

There is not a single group of Jews that thinks it is admirable to risk a life for Shabbat. The more the religious, the more they value life and quicker break Shabbat.

Do a bit of research in Hatzoloh and Joint Hatzoloh - it is impressive the lengths that volunteers go to, to save a life in Israel (Jewish and Muslim equally). They are active everywhere, and do not get fewer calls from the ultra-Orthodox.
