If in fact you are the "next of kin" (every state defines that a little differently), you are entitled to your brother's medical records. I strongly recommend that you consult an attorney and discuss the specifics of your case -- specifically, you should make sure that you are, in fact, the next of kin as defined by D.C. law.

Best of luck.*******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.********
