There's damage on Sam's body as well, though he doesn't let it on. Gadreel will find out soon enough about the scars fried into his left side when the drive suit shorted out from the wash of Kaiju blood.
Stepping into place in the pod is almost like coming home. It's only all the way there once the neural handshake is initiated and the drift is established. He knows that Gadreel can see everything and he doesn't hold back. If this is going to work, they can't hold back from each other. They have to work in tandem, be one person or near enough.
So he lets Gadreel see everything: the house in Kansas where he and Dean started their lives, but which burnt down soon after the first Kaiju attack in the resulting panic inland. The first tests where his parents were found to be drift compatible with each other. They never loved him and Dean less for it, but they had less time afterward, leaving Dean to raise Sam mostly on his own. Then the tests that found the brothers to have some of the highest compatibility scores out there. Then their training and the first time they took Baby out.
The coma was a long, dark space where nothing much was. Sam didn't even remember the actual Kaiju fight except in flashes. He was lucky he wasn't brain dead.
