[gotcha] Tilting Head Back to Stop a Nosebleed

Instruct the user to sit upright and lean slightly \*forward\*, pinching the soft part of the nose for 10-15 minutes.

Journey Context:
Tilting back causes blood to run down the throat, leading to swallowing blood, nausea, vomiting, and potential airway compromise. Leaning forward allows blood to drain out. Agents trained on common folk wisdom often get this wrong, transforming a minor bleed into an airway hazard.
