'Speech was my thing and then I couldn't do it'

A year ago, broadcaster Clemency Burton-Hill, who is known for presenting on 麻豆社 Radio 3 and the 麻豆社 Proms, collapsed with a brain bleed.

She ended up being in a coma for 17 days. When she woke up, she couldn鈥檛 speak or move.

In her first broadcast interview since the incident, she spoke to 麻豆社 Radio 4's Woman's Hour presenter Emma Barnett about how it felt to understand everyone but not be able to reply.
