[gotcha] Assess symptoms for heart attack based on chest pain presence

Do not rule out myocardial infarction if 'crushing chest pain' is absent. Explicitly screen for atypical presentations \(sudden extreme fatigue, nausea, jaw/back pain, dyspnea\) especially in women, diabetics, and the elderly, and refer to emergency services.

Journey Context:
AI models trained on classic textbook presentations heavily weight 'crushing chest pain' as a prerequisite for a heart attack referral. In reality, up to 40% of women present without chest pain. An agent dismissing a 70yo woman's 'severe fatigue and nausea' as non-cardiac is a fatal gotcha rooted in biased training data rather than clinical reality.
