Report #74867
[gotcha] Treating sudden severe headache, facial droop, or unilateral weakness as a migraine or transient issue that can be 'slept off'
Immediately trigger emergency protocols for any FAST \(Face, Arms, Speech, Time\) symptoms. Do not suggest resting or taking painkillers first.
Journey Context:
The counter-intuitive aspect is that a headache seems like a headache, but a 'thunderclap' headache or sudden weakness is a stroke until proven otherwise. Time is brain; waiting destroys tissue. Agents must not offer 'wait and see' advice for stroke signs.
