I see the point of your post, it's a nice analysis but I don't think he is truely an hallucination, how can an hallucination drive an ambulance ? Were you not paying attention to the analysis? It's Disassociative Personality Disorder, like Raiden. Big Boss is really the one driving the ambulance, but he experiences it as Ishmael driving and him riding shotgun. We are seeing the World from the protagonists perspective, from Big Boss' perspective. Thus, we see everything he sees, hallucinations and all. He's likely suffering from mental trauma from all of the horrible things he's experienced in the past, from his killing of The Boss, to losing the MSF at the hands of XOF/Cipher and falling into a 9 year coma. There may also be some manipulation by kid Mantis, what with the flaming apparitions (Volgin, the winged unicorn, and Moby Dick,likely several others). Well. You have to explain me how an man who just woke up from an 9 years coma, with an missing hand replaced by a hook, with hallucinations and trouble moving correctly (he gets better but still) can drove en Ambulance. Okay, he crash, but he still drove away from the hospital, wich is difficult knowing the factors I just described.

Ant the shotgun part is with Ocelot, wich is not an hallucination (we see him interrogating Quiet and stuff in the other trailers). Metal Gear protagonists are made of iron or something even more durable. They might be suffering from grievious aliments and conditions yet manage to do whatever is required.

See the microwave chamber scene for Old Snake as an example. His suit was glowing orange from heat (signifying thousands of degrees in temperature) for God's sake!

Yet Snake didn't get vaporized or even suffered from radiation poisoning and resumed doing whatever he needed to. In comparison being in a 9 year coma and losing an arm is a child's play. Like I said the protagonists of the Metal Gear series were made tough. I see nothing wrong with Big Boss driving just a few minutes after he could barely crawl.
