Pharmacists Mutual Insurance Company’s Post

Every day I step into the pharmacy, I take a moment to say this prayer in my heart. It’s a simple, yet powerful reminder of my responsibility as a pharmacist. Beyond the prescriptions, beyond the medications, lies a deep commitment to the health and well-being of every person who comes to the pharmacy for help. This prayer guides me to: - Listen with empathy and truly understand each patient’s needs. - Provide not just medication, but comfort and reassurance. - Serve with integrity, ensuring that every action is in the best interest of those I care for. To me, this prayer is more than just words—it’s a reflection of the compassion and dedication that defines the pharmacy profession. It’s what drives us to go the extra mile, to ensure that every patient feels heard, supported, and cared for. As we enter this new week, I invite you to carry this spirit of empathy and service in your own lives. Whether you’re in healthcare or not, we all have the power to make a difference through our actions and words. Let your week be filled with kindness, understanding, and meaningful connections. 🫶🏾 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲💚, 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦.

For many years, this principle has been locked away in the vault of the most elite medical schools. Because my P.H.D. (Plain High School Diploma) it was given to me. - - - - - - - The secret of tracking hundreds of patients over the years is this. You may have witnessed the doctor before computers walking in and looking at the chart: Mr. McClain, How is your mom doing? I see here that you added her heart to your medical records recently. How are you sleeping, and that allergy, any issues? Do you need any more refills on...? We all felt like you were a Ford Pinto at Jiffy Lube before the slam bam, thank you mentality at doctor's offices. So you can not fake empathy, be authentic. Pure hearts grow more significant fruit. People buy and sell things, not companies. Treat people like people. Here is a principle to remember the facts; this gives the good intended people the ability to pick up conversations where you left off. It gives caring friends the ability to remember. This all started when I forgot the first important date of my relationship. "Random effort created random results; intentional effort breeds intentional results." I created a system; I bought all the important holidays and the Just Cause cards for the year and put them in a secret place in my truck. Not to be deceitful but to ensure I protected my relationship Complacency. It is not a cure or relationship help; it is just a hack to celebrate people you love on the fly. Once you create a system, you empower the intentional results. There is no way you can remember everything; how you do not forget is up to you.

What I learned on my rotation with Moose Pharmacy this month, was essentially how to think critically in a clinical setting when assessing a patient. It was difficult at first to stop thinking and working with a student-like mind frame. I have gained more knowledge to prepare me for the pharmacy work-life and how Pharmacists are the last stop for healthcare when it comes to patients. I have learned that using proper clinical thinking can allow for interventions that could be vital to a patient's overall health. Pharmacists can be advocates for patients in staying up to date with their preventative health such as shots and regular wellness visits. Pharmacists can be the mid-point between other health professionals and the patient's health goals. I learned on my rotation with Moose how important this role is for pharmacists and how we apply our clinical knowledge can be life changing for all involved. I also gained more confidence in using my clinical knowledge and how to properly search for information that I am not knowledgeable about it. Working with Moose pharmacy has made me excited to take on this role for patients!
