The hallucinations sound like a side effect from lorazepam (Ativan) -- something hospitals give almost everyone but is a hardcore drug.
Consider asking nurses to stop administering it after you do your own research.

- Fatnino 4y agoI went to the hospital for debilitating shoulder pain. Came out 3 hours later with an xray that showed nothing wrong and a bottle of Ativan. Still no idea why they gave that to me. I didn't take any of the pills. And the bill came out to over 7 thousand dollars.

- copperx 4y agoIt's hard to pin it down to a single drug. Having had both my grandmother (80) and mother (60) in the ICU, and both got hallucinations without Ativan. It could be so many things: * The aftermentioned lack of sound sleep * Anesthesia * Painkillers In the case of my grandmother, hallucinations and incoherence lasted about three months after she was home. My mother's lasted about 2-3 weeks. It was scary. They both eventually recovered. But it is true that nobody in the hospital bats an eye when acute dementia-like symptoms are mentioned. "It's normal," they say.
