Going to the hospital during an emergency is a scary thing, and if you're communicating via American Sign Language, it can be even scarier, but it doesn't have to be. Nothing is scary about these emergency-related signs (except having to use them). These signs may be your 9-1-1 when you need to help out in an emergency!
