This video helped make me more confident. Reading off signs and symptoms and treatment from a book is one thing but actually watching how the process and treatment would actually happen during a call in a video is a big plus and very helpful

My only critique - and I know this is a training video - but the moment you noticed left sided droop and slurred speech, I think you should have been loading the PT onto a stretcher so that a BLS provider could rendezvous with medics and get him to the hospital as soon as possible. While we don’t need to rush and make mistakes, all of that eval could and should have been done on a truck.
