An American man has gone viral on social media after a video captured the moment he woke up from anesthesia after surgery, only to find himself speaking a language he had never learned or knew before. The man's wife filmed the first moments after her husband came out of the operating room, and her shock was evident as she heard him speaking Spanish fluently while coming out of the anesthetic effect. She wondered about the secret behind this incident, especially since her husband had never studied or spoken Spanish in his life. The wife repeatedly asked him the question in a bewildered tone: "You're speaking Spanish, where did you learn this language?" But the strangest part was his continuous reply in Spanish itself, insisting that he only knew English, without realizing the language coming out of his mouth.Doctors define foreign language syndrome as a rare phenomenon, but most recorded cases were limited to changes in accent or voice tone. However, the American patient appeared to be a native Spanish speaker, with all the details of pronunciation, rhythm, and confidence in speech, as if a hidden file in his brain had been suddenly opened without warning. Anesthesia can push people into exceptional states of consciousness, with some patients recovering forgotten childhood languages while others show changes in personality. However, this case seems completely different, as if a complete language with all its details was installed in his mind overnight. The video sparked a wave of comments and debate. One commenter joked, "I wish I would wake up from anesthesia and be a kung fu master." Others raised deeper questions about the nature of the event: "Was it a brain glitch? A memory from a past life? Or did the anesthesia open a door to a part of the mind we usually can't access?"
