Given the amount of effort required to communicate, I was struck by how the patient used the filler word 'gerade' at the end of the article.

I have a feeling that was to indicate a bit of sarcasm, with the system being so slow, so the patient probably tried to make a bit of fun of their situation.
It's not like they'd have something better to do. Communicating is probably the most exciting thing to happen to this person in a long time.
