ResumoJCPH – Vol. 63, n 2 – mars–avril 2010 184 many fans were “looking for blood”, the coach’s actions calmed us down and reinstated our faith in the team. Similarly, in pharmacist practice, we must all take responsibility for our actions. This attitude helps to ensure that we maintain the respect of our patients and other health care professionals. Little Plays Make a Difference: Whether it is conceding a single point in a football game or suggesting a statin for secondary prevention, little plays can add up significantly over time. We need to make the most of every situation. Attention to Detail: Whether counting players on the field or noticing trends in potassium levels, paying attention to detail is vitally important. Pride, Passion, and Inspiration: The Rider Nation can make a difference to players’ morale with hats made of real watermelons, green Rider jerseys, a 6-foot gopher, flags, and face paint. In pharmacy, with all of us supporting and advocating for our profession by showing our “professional colours”, we can make a difference to our profession and our patients! As I anticipate what lies ahead for our profession, I am overcome with excitement. Perhaps the dawn of a “Pharmacist Nation” is on the horizon. I wonder . . . what food should we wear on our heads?
