and during his July incident, staffers had gotten him turned around and he seemed surprised at being in a different position.

That's one reason I was wondering about seizure activity. During TIAs, people are generally aware that something is wrong and they come out of it more slowly.

Absence seizures are weird, a person sitting down will keep his balance, ditto a person standing up. A person at dinner might have a fork halfway to an open mouth and will remain frozen that way. Or stop in mid sentence and either resume it a few seconds later or lose their train of thought completely. It's as though for the duration, they are just not there. Falls happen when someone is getting out of a chair or walking or reaching for something. Please tell me he's not driving any more.

Whatever is going on with him, he needs a neuro workup, not some GP looking at him once it's over and saying he's fine. He's not.
