The Oregon native had been told that her speech patterns would return to normal once the swelling in her mouth went down, but, over 18 months later, she still has a foreign accent. Karen Butler had developed Foreign Accent Syndrome, whose effect is self-evident.
Foreign Accent Syndrome is usually the result of brain trauma, either due to a stroke or external forces. In Karen Butler's case, her health insurance won't cover a brain scan, so she doesn't know whether or not she suffered a small stroke while under the dentist's anesthesia.
Karen Butler likes her new accent, though, and plans on keeping it rather than undergoing speech therapy. This makes sense: Americans dig foreign accents, especially those that sound vaguely British. Karen Butler is in luck: her accent sounds like a mix between northern English, Irish, Dutch, and maybe German. She'll always get served first at bars.
