I was just going to say the same thing! Both ways...RGNs not so hot on Psych. conditions and RMNs not so hot on medical stuff. I have worked in both (as a different professional) and find that psych illness is seen as 'bad behaviour' by general staff and medical troubles seen as 'somatising' by psych. staff. My advice to any patients in that position?...have a word with one of the professions who are actually trained or experienced in both...like a junior doctor who will have recent experience in both fields, or an occupational therapist. There are others of course, but these two are the easiest to find in either type of hospital. They may not be able to cure the problem without help, but they sure will recognise symptoms and know when to refer on to the experts for treatment. I did just this earlier today with someone who was 'somatising' but in fact showed all the signs of having rampant urinary tract infection.
