Australian woman wakes up from tonsil surgery speaking in an IRISH accent despite never visiting the country - and it's a medical condition only recorded 100 times in history

An Australian woman has woken up from tonsil surgery to find she has an Irish accent - despite never having been to the country. An Gie Mcyen posted a video to her TikTok two days after undergoing an operation on her throat and was shocked to find she no longer had her Australian accent. 'I woke up with an Irish accent the day before and thought I was gonna wake up from this weird dream. But no, my Aussie accent's gone,' she captioned the clip. After two weeks of research and meeting with doctors, Ms Mcyen believes she has Foreign Accent Syndrome, a condition usually caused by a brain injury that sees sufferers lose their natural accent. There has only been 100 cases reported since its discovery in 1907.

    I've got a hundred and one jokes for this but they'd probably get me in trouble with the p.c. brigade

    Could have been worse I suppose. It could have been Welsh . Then she would have been the only person outside Abergavenny who could speak it.

    What do you think Tony?
