Doctors told her at the hospital if she hadn't made that call she would have been dead by morning.
Dr. Pravin George, a neurointensivist at the Cleveland Clinic, says hallucinations and delirium are becoming more common among COVID-19 patients. However, it’s rare for someone to distinguish a hallucination from reality and then remember it afterwards – like Schneider.
Hospitals have long been judged on quality of care. These new rankings grade their commitment to community, too. The Cleveland Clinic notes symptoms of hypoactive delirium include withdrawal, apathy, laziness and decreased responsiveness. Hyperactive delirium is characterized by anxiety, restlessness, rapid changes in emotion and hallucinations.
But then another hallucination appeared. As she laid in the hospital bed intubated and heavily sedated, her late husband, aunt, sister and grandmother appeared in the room with a message.Schneider's condition improved after that last hallucination. She was taken off the ventilator after several days and released from the hospital the following week.
