UK Minister Hospitalized for a Month After Brain Abscess Linked to Work Stress
- Therese Coffey was hospitalized for a month due to a brain abscess caused by stress from overwork as a government minister
- She started experiencing symptoms like hallucinations and slurred speech in 2018 but initially dismissed them
- Doctors discovered the abscess after she couldn't remember where she lived when going to vote
- Coffey says she now tries to "live in the moment" and not overstress herself after the health scare
