Dear ER Colleagues,
This is your friendly mental health worker, the one who meets with suicidal, homicidal and/or psychotic patients to screen them for admission to our psychiatric unit, or who calls 50 other hospitals in the state with psychiatric units, hoping they have a bed when we don't.
I really enjoy working with you, and I really enjoy my job, since it is completely focused on mental health and it is not really social work. I would just like to remind you some of the things we in our department do, and the social work department doesn't, and vice versa.
