Empathy is so important and when doctors and nurses in psychiatry don't even try to get it I wonder why they go into the field in the first place unless based on what I saw there some try to do as little as possible and on a medical or surgical unit there is too much to do physically for a patient if you ignored them they would go down the tubes pretty quickly. Granted some psych disorders like schizophrenia or psychosis are so serious the best nurses and doctors are still at a loss as to what to do except give medication which is about all you can do sometimes to get someone back to a place where you can talk to them but you can still be empathetic even when they are really in the middle of any crisis.
