MODERATORS
This is well into paranoia territory. Anyone who is willing to either tail you until you have a medical episode or otherwise force the medical episode will have no trouble accessing your phone via more conventional means (kidnap + torture).
If you really want to protect against this "risk", either use a non-standard finger, or don't use biometrics at all.
And if you are likely to have a medical episode, either use your phones built in ICE (in case emergency) feature, wear one of those medical alert bands, or write the ICE numbers on your phone case.
