Cheers for sharing the videos.
The head impulse test looks like it’s taken right out a Steven Seagal movie… I’m half surprised the patient survives!

I can imagine the patient reaction if previously he was affected by vertigo…..
seven years later, i agree with Chris. i would not have been surprised if the poor woman up and slapped him. also, it might be a way of cleaning the plaques off the carotid circulation, or a thrombus from a carotid or vestibular dissection.
but an excellent review of a common , often difficult differential challenge. as always, thank you, scott
