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.
