Your dad could have hospital psychosis or delirium. I've read about and actually think my dad had a little of it when he had heart surgery. His cleared up in a few days, though some lasted for several weeks. I'd ask the doctor about this being a possibility. Of course, it could be something else too, like a reaction to medication, infection, etc.

I bet you get some other responses to this from those who know much more about it.
