Your example perhaps doesn’t lend itself to a discussion of “gut feelings”, since it describes different symptoms quite specifically. In the absence of other information, the first sounds like a heart attack, the second, heart-burn (acid reflux).
Gut feeling relies on more abstract concepts, particularly in the context of pediatrics where a child may be unable to verbalise their symptoms.
- Ntrails 8y agoI agree the specific example is somewhat explicit, but the point being made is valid. Whether it's a subtle choice of words, lack of eye contact, or constant fidgeting. They can all have some additional meaning (or none!). One example that I've heard is common is about reading body language that might indicate discomfort in talking about a subject, which might suggest under/mis-reporting of an issue.
