the physician's take on delirium:
delirium represents an acute confusional state marked by cognitive and behavioral disturbances and fluctuating levels of consciousness caused by a medical condition, intoxication, or a medication side effect.
the layperson's take:
two hours ago your hospitalized mother was fine. now she's trying to call someone on the remote control to get the crying baby out of the corner of her room.
