It makes sense and I can relate in a small way. I was one of the first three people on the scene of a small plane crash earlier this year.

By the time I threw my car into park, told my daughters to stay put, ran across a field, tripped over a small fence I could not see then got close enough to see there was nothing to be done...the pilot had raised an arm to brace against the flames and was dead in that position. He went quick, thank any deity that exists.

But since then, I am acutely aware that our time on this planet is finite and I've been less patient with wasting that time than I was previously. That may be a bit ironic, as I sit here on Reddit. That said, I'm off to go hug my kids.

I woke up in the middle of throat surgery but unlike you was able to move. I raised my hand to signal the nurse I was awake (couldn't speak due to the tube, eyes were taped shut). I felt her push my hand back down. I was trying hard not to gag and keep calm. I raised my hand again. She pushed it back down again. I raised it a third time; she started to press it back down. I flipped my hand over and squeezed hers. I heard, "Oh, shit. He's awake!" After that I remember nothing.

I'd let him give the statement to the cops then reveal you have it on camera. However, I am not an investigator...I only watch them on Law & Order: SVU.
