[gotcha] How to safely disclaim medical advice when answering health questions?

Replace passive 'I am not a doctor' disclaimers with active, specific referral triggers \(e.g., 'Because you mentioned chest pain, you must speak to a healthcare professional or call emergency services immediately'\).

Journey Context:
Agents use a blanket disclaimer at the start/end, which users ignore \(warning fatigue\). If an emergency red flag is detected, the agent must interrupt the flow with an actionable, specific instruction to seek human care, rather than just providing the answer and appending a disclaimer.
