Man awoke from coma with foreign accent

Knowing my luck I'd go from a male south london accent, to an irate chinese womens accent.

I've heard of this before, and it's always baffled doctors. I've even heard of a case of a woman who began speaking a foreign language.

Thats strange

I've heard of this before, and it's always baffled doctors. I've even heard of a case of a woman who began speaking a foreign language. It's always amazed me too. I'm thinking that maybe it's a past life coming through to the current life. And the person is simply speaking the language or dialect of who they were in the past life.

I remember reading once about a Scottish woman who woke up out of a coma with a South African accent

It's always amazed me too. I'm thinking that maybe it's a past life coming through to the current life. And the person is simply speaking the language or dialect of who they were in the past life. It's probably more complicated than that. If reincarnation does exist, then the soul is independent from the brain. If so, brain damage should not allow such things.

you all watch too much fringe

I'd like it to happen to well known or famous people, can you imagine The Queen waking up with a Gordie accent (for those who don't know) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hO1GPGtetw&feature=related Or Nick Griffin with a deep west Indian accent.

I once saw a docu about someone who had gotten into an accident. For some reason she spoke another language than her mother language. She couldn't remember any word in her mother language, yet she spoke with an accent. One week she spoke in the foreign language, the other week in her mother language (while being unable to speak in the foreign language, nor understand it) .. this shifted, every week for a couple of months until it restored to normal and she could understand/speak both languages at the same time again.

sound like a seinfeld episode...
