I don't understand why it would be unlikely? Suppose someone is out walking and falls to the ground. Anyone in the neighborhood might notice that and call 911. How can such a call be "screened" for heart attack if the caller has no idea why the person fell to the ground?
Also, remember, many Villagers have multiple health conditions. For example, a diabetic person could have cancer and coronary artery disease. And yet they might appear to be well when out walking.
