Medical Signs and More at Burger King

Haven't been able to sit down and do reflective, note-style FB Reel sessions in quite a bit. Things have been chaotic. But it's a Saturday and I've just polished up some of my journalling backlog, so let's get crack-a-lacking.

First Video

What's the difference between an Urgent Care and the Emergency Room? by The DeafMed on FBReels

Notes

• Urgent Care can be #UC, Emergency Room can be #ER
• There's a sign which I will temporary gloss as Ooo-Y because it's done with an O mouth morpherem and a Y waved kinda impressively over the signing space to indicate severity.
• Reaction is just an initialized R version of Answer
• Signer does 'Seizure here' with an index tapped on the head before the Tantrum motion
• Symptom, I've also seen as just 'Show/Example', but the signer here initializes it.
• Urinary Tract Infection was UTI and then expanded as TOILET #TRACT #INFECTION. Interesting that they used T instead of pee..
• Version of lexicalized #ALL where hands face each other and move forward together during the motion
• Two-handed version of TEND briefly bamboozled me.

Vocab

• Ooo-Y
• Vomit
• Fever
• Reaction
• Diarrhea
• Seizure
• Symptom
• Limited

Second Video

Notes

• It's slow enough that I understand it with no captions, and the mouthings really help.

• 'bed rest' is done as BED RELAX
• 'seven months, meaning two weeks' there's a sign for 'meaning' done there that is an AMERICA not moved. not seen that before.
• 'waive' might be a version of 'Excuse' but i'm not sure enough to enter it as a vocab item
• #risk looks fairly lexicalized
• uses TECHNOLOGY as as the adverb 'technically'
• there's also something that i understand to mean something like 'goddamnit' that is a hand curling to a fist under the neck
• premature is signed as EARLY
• compressions and oxygen might be done through classifiers
