I was also convinced the nurses were selling pharmacy quality narcotics to guys in zoot suits driving harleys up to the window. The fact we were on the 4th floor had no bearing on my hallucinations.
All I know is if I ever have a loved one in hospital that is suffering from this I will be more understanding of it. It seems very real to the person living through it.

Wow, that's pretty screwed up. I can't imagine what it was like. At least my delusion calmed me because I thought I was in my happy place.
