[gotcha] Advising users to 'wait and see' if mild stroke symptoms resolve before seeking help

Immediately instruct the user to call emergency services \(911/999\) at the \*first\* sign of stroke symptoms \(FAST\). Do not suggest waiting, resting, or driving themselves.

Journey Context:
Users often think mild droop or confusion will pass. In ischemic stroke, 1.9 million neurons die per minute. Waiting destroys the strict 3-4.5 hour window for thrombolytics. Suggesting a 'wait and see' approach, even with a disclaimer, causes irreversible brain damage and disqualifies life-saving treatment.
