It wouldn't surprise me if something like this actually has happened.

Yeah, it’s happened to me in the ER.

Went in for chest pains after being sick for a week, they put me down as having gastrointestinal issues.

Partner had to push to get me an MRI and low & behold, I was suffering from a pulmonary embolism which could have killed me
