This video is a great example of what jargon is and well, I also enjoy watching Grey's Anatomy. I didn't understand any of this medical jargon so when they said it again in a much simpler way I was like oh... that's what you meant. There is so much we don't know because jargon is vocabulary of a specific professional trade (medical, legal, business, etc...) that can be hard to understand. I thought these actors did great in memorizing the medical jargon but I did find another video about how well they know medical jargon. Check it out!

Hi Alejandra! I have never seen Grey's Anatomy, but just by watching that little bit, I know I would be very confused! I think each profession has it's own set of jargon and until you either work in the field or become acquainted with the terminology, it will be difficult for the average audience to understand.
ReplyDeleteI hate medical jargonnnnn. All the terms are so long and are really difficult to pronounce ;-;

I love Grey's Anatomy, when I first started watching it I was like uuuuuuh ? Then later on I started to figure out what they were saying. Love this post.
