I had ARDS in 2012 (before Covid) and spent a week on ventilator, in induced coma. I fortunately have no recollection of that, no hallucinations from the coma itself, but the week following my coming out of the coma was weird, to put it mildly. That is when I thought all kinds of irrational stuff was happening to me. Fortunately one of the nurses managed to explain the weird stuff in a simple manner: "Look, your brain has been pickled with all kinds of drugs for over a week, all these strange things are only inside your head! Just be patient while your system gets rid of this". Somehow this really made sense and I managed to do as she told me. She turned to be absolutely right.
