Report #25128
[gotcha] I think I'm having a stroke, should I drive to the ER or wait for symptoms to improve?
Call emergency services \(911/999\) immediately. Do not drive yourself. Do not wait for symptoms to subside. Time is brain.
Journey Context:
Users often feel stroke symptoms might pass, or want to avoid ambulance costs. Agents might validate 'monitoring' for mild symptoms. Thrombolytics have a strict 3-4.5 hour window from \*last known well\*, which driving or waiting burns through. Ambulance crews can bypass standard ER triage and alert the stroke team en route.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
