An Australian woman who went into hospital to have her tonsils removed woke up eight days later to find she now had an "Irish" accent. Angie Mcyen was in the shower singing when she first noticed the change. She has since been documenting her experience of the strange condition she believes she has: Foreign Accent Syndrome. - "I woke up this morning. I didn't do anything different, I had breakfast. I didn't really talk to my housemates because [they'd already left.] I took a shower and I usually sing when I'm showering listening to songs, and all of a sudden I was talking in an Irish accent," she said in her first video, sounding much more alarmed than she does Irish (for a good reason). "I can't shake it. I just did a job interview in an Irish accent when I've never been to Ireland."
