One strange thing about the article is, anointing for the sick or dying does not use holy water, but it does use oil. Is this bad reporting on the part of the writer of this article or confusion on the part of the victim, who said the priest anointed her with water, and then used "lotion"?

Last time I was in the ICU, I experienced an extended bout of a well-known phenomenon called "ICU psychosis." I was paranoid and hallucinating. I remember bi and pieces of this quite well.

Is it possible this poor woman is an unreliable narrator?

Excellent question. I guess I, too,, suffered ICU psychosis though (when I regained my senses) I chalked it up to the drugs they used to keep me in an induced coma for 11 days. My eyes would open and my brain would take in info to formulate the delusions that I reacted to after they woke me up and I stayed in ICU another 17 days. But then I continued to have much milder symptoms, ie, sudden fearfulness, for a number of weeks. In short, I think you may be on to something. I would have sworn quite credibly in a stack of Bibles that
My care providers were trying to kill me

There you go again, injecting reason, healthy skepticism, and logic into the discussion!
