Me, too, and it's insult to serious injury that the neighbor is not being charged with felony assault.
It could turn out very badly for the attacker.
Rand sues and wins civil damages, provable due to the serious nature of his injuries and provable pain & suffering.
Retired doctor (still trying to sell his overpriced house) tries to go back to work but nobody wants him.
All for lack of the simplest bit of self-control.
