6. GENERAL HEALTH SIGNS The sign language for medical vocabulary is constructed the same way as other sign language words. The movements represent an aspect of the words they are describing. There are specific signs for specific medical terms and phrases. Knowing medical sign language can help you to recognize and assist a deaf or hard-of-hearing person in need. The signs in this book are meant for right-handed people; left-handed signers may reverse the directions.

7. HEALTH SIGNS (Medical personnel) The signs for people in medical situations usually have to use a letter to identify their titles, and a movement that represents their actions. For example, a deaf person using ASL ( american sign language) would finger spell a "D" with his right hand, and place it on the inside of his left palm, to sign "doctor." The sign pantomimes taking a pulse and the "D" signifies that it was a doctor doing it. A "D" at your teeth stands for "dentist." A right handed "n" on the left palm is the sign for "nurse"; a nurse would check the time on his or her wrist before starting a shift. Some terms are made up of multiple signs. To sign "patient," use both hands with alphabet "P" each, on the forehead and the stomach. Try your hands on the following (surgeon, specialist, pharmacist, lab technologist, etc )
