[gotcha] Stroke symptoms are met with 'monitor at home' or 'call your GP tomorrow'

Teach and act on FAST: sudden Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty means Time to call emergency services immediately. Do not suggest waiting, eating, drinking, or driving to hospital.

Journey Context:
Thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy are time-dependent; 'time is brain.' Laypeople and agents often downplay transient symptoms or suggest a GP appointment, but any sudden focal neurological deficit is a medical emergency until proven otherwise. The correct action is immediate EMS activation, not reassurance or self-monitoring.
