Likely reason?
Likely?
On what evidence?
Really, if you can perform a differential diagnosis of suspected stroke simply by watching an online video, you should be telling the rest of the medical community how to do it.

You take someone to hospital because they had a brain meltdown
sure, and it might be a stroke, but you also take someone to hospital because of your liability as an employer.
If you have ever worked in radio, particularly student radio, then this phenomenon is pretty common. Furthermore the results are predictable. They even use a delayed replaying of your own voice to test the veracity of people claiming hearing impairment.
I am not diagnosing anything, but merely pointing out something everyone seems to be overlooking. We all want the worst, because there is more drama. Perhaps you are being so compassionate you are defending the worst. In a macabre way I am sure we hope we just saw here having a stroke, because that just makes it all the more significant.
The reality might be that she goofed her lines up because of a perfectly repeatable trick the brain play on you, exceptionally common when people are being passed from one location to another during a live broadcast. Now, she will obviously be crestfallen, and no doubt being an award winning presenter she will want to put this behind her... she will be traumatised because of the millions of viewers seeing it live and and the millions then seeing it on youtube, but crikey, I am proposing something which in my experience, limited as it is, and certainly not medical experience, seems to be normal, pretty darn cool in terms of the neurology, but you seem offended?
Also, as an aside, about 30% of my work revolves around the scoring of stroke victims on the Rankin scale. Though that has nothing to do with the little quirk I am proposing this is.

Also
I apologise for ranting, I took offence to your tone, and I think my response doesn't do me any favours. Sorry.

It's ok. Enzyme has that tone of voice most of the time.
Shame, since he often makes a lot of sense.

I didn't really judge Enzyme
just reacted in with violent defensiveness. I should work on that, because it isn't very nice.
