[gotcha] Wait-and-See Approach for Transient Ischemic Attack \(TIA\) or Mild Stroke

Map any sudden stroke signs \(FAST\) to an immediate emergency call; explicitly state 'time is brain' and that the thrombolysis window is up to 4.5 hours, warning against waiting for symptoms to resolve on their own.

Journey Context:
Agents might list stroke symptoms objectively. Users experiencing a mild droop or slurred speech might think they can monitor it at home, especially if it resembles a TIA. The counter-intuitive reality is that waiting destroys salvageable brain tissue and eliminates the strict 4.5-hour tPA window. Objective listing without urgent escalation leads to the bystander effect.
