[gotcha] Relying solely on 'crushing chest pain' as the primary triage filter for myocardial infarction

Triage for heart attacks must include atypical symptoms—unexplained nausea, jaw/back pain, shortness of breath, and extreme fatigue—especially in women, the elderly, and diabetics.

Journey Context:
AI models heavily weight the 'classic' male presentation of a heart attack. Women frequently present without chest pain or with subtle symptoms. Dismissing these atypical presentations as anxiety or indigestion delays life-saving reperfusion therapy, leading to higher mortality rates in women.
