    • Abstract:
      The article presents a profile of Don Colcord, a druggist who owns the Apothecary Shoppe in rural Nucla, Colorado. He discusses various difficulties he has experienced in life including working in a rural town with limited medical care options for low-income residents, growing up with a gay brother, and raising an alcoholic daughter. He also comments on deficits he has incurred while running his shop due to the inability of customers to pay.
