Vestibular Disorders

Description

This collection of articles on the latest developments is written by experts in various sub-disciplines - medical and paramedical - of vestibular disorders. Contributions discuss various manifestations of vestibular disorders and how to diagnose and treat them. The different areas are put into context to support the clinician in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with dizziness, imbalance, and vertigo. New diagnostic tools are presented as are new approaches to the understanding of clinical signs and underlying pathologies. Otolaryngologists seeking to provide up-to-date assessment and care will find this publication a valuable and indispensable read. The contributions presented appeal not only to otolaryngologists of all levels of experience, but also to front-line clinical staff.

Dedication
This book is dedicated to the life of Dr. David Douglas Pothier, friend, colleague, mentor and all around “Top Man”. He sadly passed away prior to the printing of this book on July 27th 2018, at the age of 44, after a 7-year battle with cancer, glioblastoma multiforme. This book is a tribute to his wife Louise, and son James, who provided him with endless love and support.
David’s lateral thinking and creativity led to impactful changes within the field of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery. In collaboration with international colleagues he pioneered a shift in otologic surgery; his work led to the introduction, promotion and adoption of endoscopic ear surgery throughout the globe. His passion for understanding and challenging the “status quo” in the field of dizziness and otologic surgery has left a lasting impression on the scientific literature and the lives of his patients. His passion for life, limitless honesty, humor, strong sense of moral character, rigid love for proper grammar, and unique inability to catastrophize are cherished and will be missed but not forgotten.

David Pothier FRCS who died last month in Toronto was known and admired by many in the ENT world.
He came to the UK after training in Cape Town through his French ancestry. He worked in London at St Mary’s and then became a higher surgical trainee in the Bristol/ Bath rotation. He impressed and touched everyone who came into contact with him and his prodigious workload and prodigious appetite (for steak and cigars) made a big impact. He was happy to share that his fierce commitment was because he thought “he had been given a second chance in the UK” and was determined not to waste it.
From the start, David carried the torch of ENT research, carried out with focus, passion and scientific rigour. In some ways, his thought processes mirrored those of Philip Stell and George Browning, iconic geniuses and cynics of UK ENT. All three had fervour for the way that objective data, meticulously collected, and hypotheses tested by disciplined science, were the only ways to make step-changes in health for people floundering in the ocean of unmet clinical needs. We don’t think David ever met Stell, the gruff champion of head and neck oncology, but are sure he knew and was inspired by George. He not only performed practical and meaningful trials himself, but organised everyone around him on training programmes to do the same, at times of conspicuous absence of significant research leadership in many rotations. His output, as first and co-author, therefore was prodigious. He organised meetings for registrars to discuss and present their work, lighting a flame in the minds of these brightest of young doctors, and developing their CVs and careers at the same time. As was later reflected in his beautiful woodwork creations, these projects were not just for the sake of looking good, as so much before and since had been, but were finely crafted with practical ends.

No less impressive, though, was his influence on his seniors, including the authors. For all the years we knew him as a registrar, it was more like having a trusted colleague, guide and (more than perhaps) equal, than a subordinate trainee. He taught a raft of us, young and old, the value of ourselves as surgeon scientists; encouraged us to throw off the shackles of convention and create new ideas, test them and apply them. Thus, he skilfully and subtly spread these critical messages to as many people with the power to change ENT care as he c
