One day in France, an old person called the emergency services to complain about suffering from \\\"mal au coeur\\\". It literally means \\\"heart pain\\\", which \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' a serious symptom, but it mostly serves as an idiom refering to feeling nauseous. Of course, the emergency operative understood the call as being non life-threatening, and the caller died of a heartattack.

I didn\\\'t manage to find sources about the story but I think it provides an example of the trope, that\\\'s why I wrote this on the discussion page. Does it remind something to readers?
