[gotcha] Suggesting aspirin at the onset of stroke symptoms like sudden facial droop or weakness

Immediately instruct to call emergency services. Do NOT give aspirin, as the agent cannot distinguish ischemic from hemorrhagic stroke, and aspirin can be fatal in the latter.

Journey Context:
People often think aspirin helps strokes. While it helps ischemic strokes, giving it during a hemorrhagic stroke \(which an AI cannot diagnose without imaging\) can exacerbate bleeding. Time is brain; the only safe action is immediate transport for CT imaging.
