Laeticia, opérée des amygdales, elle se réveille avec l'accent anglais

Laeticia underwent a tonsillectomy in June 2014. Upon waking, her loved ones discovered something unexpected: she spoke with an English accent... which she had never had before. She thought her voice would return to normal a few weeks after the operation, but that never happened. Her surgeon, himself astonished, confessed that she was a mystery to science. She actually suffers from foreign accent syndrome, a rare and still unexplained medical phenomenon, with which she lives every day. A neurologist discusses the hypotheses regarding the causes of this syndrome. A woman whose husband woke up from a coma with an English accent following a ruptured aneurysm recounts the story. Listen to "One Day, One Life" Monday to Friday from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. with Faustine Bollaert and listen to the podcast on rtl.fr and the RTL app. 📱💻 To participate in the show: [email protected]
