Ken,
I am so happy for your entire family that you brother is going to be up and about and back at work next week. We all know it could have been much worse.
What would be worse - getting the dispatch and knowing it was a family member involved, or arriving on the scene a you did, seeing the police vehicle, and then hearing your brother's name? I bet that had the driver's door been smashed closed you would not have needed the jaws of life to rip it off. Your adrenelin would have been rushing through you so hard and fast your strength would have been superhuman.
As has been already said, the best medicine for your brother was the surprise and relief to see your face opening his door.
If he a younger or older brother?
What are the odds that you would take the call and respond to your brother's accident? While your family and his wife would have been upset to receive the call from you, they had to be reassured that "Ken is there and making sure everything is being taken care of."
Glad for the happy ending, Ken.
TJ
