Report #53037

[gotcha] Advising users to 'monitor' stroke symptoms like sudden mild weakness or speech difficulty before seeking care

Treat any sudden stroke symptom \(FAST: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty\) as an immediate emergency requiring ambulance dispatch; time to thrombolysis dictates outcome.

Journey Context:
Agents might triage 'mild' or transient symptoms \(TIAs\) as urgent but non-emergency, suggesting a doctor's appointment later. This is fatal. 'Time is brain.' Transient ischemic attacks are high-risk precursors, and even mild strokes have a narrow therapeutic window \(often 3-4.5 hours for tPA\). There is no safe 'wait and see' period.
