15 Signed Phrases for Emergency Medical Questions in American Sign Language

A video *by viewer request* for emergency medical professionals: How to simply sign the essential questions needed to ask patients in emergencies. Note that the first minute and sixteen seconds are sped up to keep the first two disclaimers short. Actual lesson begins at 4:18 Thank you to Chris the Paramedic for these suggested questions/topics, and for taking the time to teach himself and share resources with his team, all to overcome communication barriers in emergencies. DISCLAIMERS: 1. I am not a medical interpreter, I am a teacher. 2. In true medical situations, the medical establishment (hospital, doctor's office) *MUST* hire a medical interpreter! Legally! You must! (But, today will be for those emergency on-call scenarios where the interpreter is not present yet.) 3. I suggest learning more than just these 15 phrases -- get started with fingerspelling, numbers, and other beginner phrases. PREREQS: - Pronouns: Use your index finger to point, to say "you", "me", "he", "She", etc. - Facial expression for questions: Eyebrows up for Yes/NO questions, Eyebrows down for WH-word questions. THE SENTENCES: 1. "Are you deaf?" and "Do you understand sign?" "Do you understand ASL?" and "Want to write back and forth?" and "Please fingerspell." 2. "What medicine do you take/use?" 3. "What are you allergic to?" 4. "Do you feel pain?" and "Where?" / "Where is the pain?" 5. "Are you nauseous?" 6. "Do you have heart problems?" 7. "Do you have high blood pressure?" 8. "Do you have diabetes?" 9. "Do you have lung problems?" 10. "Do you experience seizures?" 11. "Are you pregnant?" 12. "Do you use drugs or alcohol?" + "When?" "How often?" and "Which?" 13. "Were you wearing a seatbelt?" 14. "Did you pass out?" or "Were you unconscious?" 15. "Starting when?" eg: "[X] started when?" "When did it begin?" POSSIBLE RESPONSES: 1. YES 2. NO 3. MAYBE 4. SOMETIMES 5. EVERY DAY 6. DON'T-KNOW + Learn fingerspelling and numbers (see my other videos - these skills will get you far! Thanks for watching and for making the effort to learn!

Dos and Don'ts of Interacting with the Deaf Community [CC]

Hi everyone! New viewers please note that this video is over 4 years old from when I was a teenager, much is still accurate, but many of my views especially related to topics at the end have changed. This video is about the dos and don'ts of getting involved in the Deaf community, mostly for ASL students, future interpreters, and new signers. I have a lot of pet peeves and things to say about this, but I tried to narrow it down to some of the most significant things I've noticed in the Deaf community. Hope you enjoy this video and maybe learn something! In regards to SimCom: personally as a deaf person, I became more comfortable simcomming after 2 years dating hearing, but still prefer ASL for accessibility sake. Deaf and hard of hearing people can adapt and do whatever they prefer in terms of communication and accessibility. For people looking to learn or get involved, I encourage you to learn ASL first, as many deaf people do not understand English. DISCLAIMER: I am sharing MY personal experiences as a deaf individual. I aim to be as welcoming as possible, but my point of view does not represent the opinions of everyone in the deaf community. My content reflects my personal opinions, please remember everyone's experiences are diverse.
