In 2016, Inglis was on a sabbatical teaching English as a second language in Ha Long, Vietnam.

She was put in into a medically-induced coma and treated in an intensive care unit in a hospital in Hanoi. [2] Her sister Stacey later told the BBC News Victoria Derbyshire programme that Inglis was in a coma and "in a very critical state." [3]
The family were told that Inglis did not have the correct travel insurance to cover the cost of her medical treatment in Vietnam. As a result, an online fundraising page was created on the GoFundMe fundraising website to help pay for her treatment. [3] [4]
Having resultantly been moved to a hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, on 6 June 2016, Inglis awakened three weeks after being placed in a medically induced coma, after opening her left eye and grabbing her father's hand in response for the first time since waking up. [5]
On 13 June 2016, Inglis arrived home in Scotland having been flown via air ambulance to continue her recovery. [6] She was able to speak within a few days [7] and to give an interview some weeks later. [8]
She initially had hopes of returning to judo. [9] In July 2017 she conceded that as a consequence of her head injury she would not return to competition. [10]
