Shaw Carter, now 22, has recovered so well he has returned to Young Harris College this year and hopes to finish next semester.
After a heart transplant followed by a bout with lymphoma, Shaw Carter and his pharmacist have a relationship like one you would have with your barber or bartender. The 22-year-old Gainesville man walks into Riverside Pharmacy like Norm from “Cheers” and greets Scottie Barton. The Gainesville drug store owner and his staff have been filling Carter’s prescriptions for his entire life.
