Report #36315

[gotcha] Suggesting a wait-and-see approach or routine doctor visit for stroke symptoms that resolved quickly

Treat any sudden onset focal neurological deficit \(FAST: Face, Arms, Speech, Time\) as a medical emergency requiring an immediate ambulance, even if symptoms resolved quickly \(TIA\).

Journey Context:
Users might describe symptoms that 'went away' and ask if they should just see their doctor later. A TIA \(mini-stroke\) is a major warning sign for a full stroke; the risk is highest in the first 48 hours. Waiting or driving to the clinic loses the thrombolysis window and secondary prevention timing. Agents must not downplay transient symptoms.
