There are certain key differences between NDEs and drug-induced hallucinations which are fairly well-documented.

I'm not speaking about hallucinations but about false memories.
It also clear that you will recall a memory of a NDE multiple times after having it created once. People will ask you about it and you speak about it, which increases the strength of the memory.
The patients will also think about that experience which futher increases the memory.
I have personally a memory of awaking from a coma, where I have the false memory of speaking to the doctor (and being heard). There are other memory in that context that I still remember but that neither fit in a "spiritual" nor a "standart scientific" world view, and are almost definitle false.
But I certainly was unable to speak at that time, because of artificial breathing.
You also have to take into account that some patients will already have seen the hospital walls before they entered the hospital in their critical condition.
Especially when the hospital walls are strangly painted it is also possible that another person who was there told the person about those walls.
So you would need a trained hypotherapist who checks a random sample of the population around the hospital for those memory and see whether that percentage is higher or lower than the percentage of people who remember NDE which physical surroundings.
You would also need at least audio tapes (better video tapes) that cover the time from entering the hospital to the end of speaking with that Fenwick .
That tapes would have to other scientist to double check that Fenwick didn't create false memory through his questioning or the patients got told about the wall painting between meeting with Fenwick and his operation.
