People who have high fevers, and are on painkillers, can develop a form of delirium. That is why staying in the hospital is best,
because the staff there recognizes it and can log it in the records, and deal with it.

If he indeed has septic shock, with very low blood pressure, he would not really be mentally alert or rational IMO.

Ask the nurses what they think. They see this all the time.
