When you find yourself surrounded by dishonorable people ! The more I watch of these Elvis videos , the more convinced I am that Elvis had very few actual people that cared for Him and not just his wallet !
So many story’s, tales, articles and books. No one will ever know what was happening in Elvis’s life. I would say a minimum of 4 people know what actually happened to this beautiful man. Such a waist of a God given talent and when he shared it with the world the world tore him to pieces. Sad, so very very sad.
Elvis was actually physically ill with some serious health issues that had nothing to do with the taking of drugs for the sheer sake of just taking drugs. Please read my comment and watch the clip provided.
We all have our secrets and Elvis being in the limelight couldn't hide his. We loved him because of the good he brought to so many people. He had a God given voice and loved the Lord.
That was his income completely unethical terrible at least in the uk the drs cut you off when u have private paid drs prescribing we’ll say no more things are going to get very muddled
When the toxicology report was released, it came with a qualifier: Diazepam, methaqualone, phenobarbital, ethchlorvynol, and ethinamate are below or within their respective ranges. Codeine was present at a level approximately 10 times those concentrations found therapeutically. In view of the polypharmacy aspects, this case must be looked at in terms of the cumulative pharmacological effect of the drugs identified by the report. Because the tox report appeared to contradict the autopsy report’s stated cardiac cause of death, a prominent toxicologist was asked to review the findings. His opinion was: Coupled with this toxicological data are the pathological findings and the reported history that the deceased had been mobile and functional within 8 hours prior to death. Together, all this information points to a conclusion that, whatever tolerance the deceased may have acquired to the many drugs found in his system, the strong probability is that these drugs were the major contribution to his demise. The Tennessee Board of Health then began an investigation into Elvis’s death which resulted in proceedings against Doctor Nick. Evidence showed that during the seven and a half months preceding Elvis’s death - from January 1, 1977, to August 16, 1977 - Doctor Nick wrote prescriptions for Elvis for at least 8,805 pills, tablets, vials, and injectables. Going back to January 1975, the count was 19,012. These numbers might defy belief, but they came from an experienced team of investigators who visited 153 pharmacies and spent 1,090 hours going through 6,570,175 prescriptions and then, with the aid of two secretaries, spent another 1,120 hours organizing the evidence. The drugs included uppers, downers, and powerful painkillers such as Dilaudid, Quaalude, Percodan, Demerol, and Cocaine Hydrochloride in quantities more appropriate for those terminally ill with cancer. Doctor Nick admitted to this. His defense was because Elvis was so wired on pain killers, he prescribed these medications to keep Elvis away from dangerous street drugs, thereby controlling Elvis’s addiction - addiction being a disease. ELVIS WAS A WALKING CHEMIST!
True but the codeine part present that he had 10 times the amount of what ever level they claim, was in his system. It dose not read on the Tox report that the codeine drug was taken just before his death. So the 10 times amount has to have been some kind of build of in his system over a sudden period of time leading up to his death. There most likely were damged to his liver ect from his drug intake through the years. So any codeine pills taken days before could still had been in his system. And what ever he took that morning could have set off the event that lead to his death.
According to Geraldo's report and the Toxicology, he had been given (took) a fatal dose of Codeine. From what I understand, he got the codeine from a dentist. Did he just get it that night while at the dentist (2 teeth pulled) and why did he take so much? I have had all of my teeth pulled and took Aleve once on the 4th day after. That is ridiculous!!! So, I wonder if this was an accidental overdose because the Codeine was new for that night. . .
Correction, the complete autopsy report has not been released yet, Mr Vernon Presley (Elvis' dad) had it sealed only to be released in 2027 which means that the toxicology report on its' own equals biased information because the illnesses Elvis had that warranted the medicine he was taking is not also taken into account.
Kinda odd everybody that lived there even the last 2 girlfriends all say they believe Elvis had a drug problem. But the doctor the writes the precriptions say no Elvis did not have drug problem. Kinda strange....
I don’t think he had an addiction problem. He was dependent yes addicted, not so much. Elvis died at 42 of a natural heart attack. 42 is the natural age for both men, and women to have major heart attacks look it up his death wasn’t so uncommon at his age.
This is a very good book. Read it and you'll completely understand what I've known for years as to the actual cause of Elvis' death...NOT the guessing game of the "drama induced" media...
DR. Nick talks in circles: States Elvis didn't have a drug dependency ( only once, but that wasn't his fault ), yet writes Rx for thousands and thousands of narcotics for him, ( narcotics don't help with megacolon ) then says he had to give him placebos to get him to slow down on the pills....hmmmm...in other words....WTF ??
He was being given multiple drug "packets" (massive, dangerous cocktails) per day by this doctor. Being addicted to a single drug is debilitating enough. Elvis was addicted to all of them. This fantasy of free will, of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps, against odds like that is absolute nonsense. Elvis had no control over his actions in the end. Only those he depended on on a daily basis--his minders, friends, and family, could have saved Elvis. And THEY just didn't. ...or do you think Elvis could have just fired them all, including his father? No one of sufficient importance tried to help him. No one formed a team to help him. No one did an intervention. A few people said a few things in hushed tones. That's not an effort. Get real.
@@theyowiehunters7698 Elvis was not drugged for pleasure or addiction, he took medicine for various illnesses that he was battling with. Please read my comment and watch the clip provided.
@@boldchick101 No Linda. The history is clear. He was hooked on uppers and downers that had no connection to his legitimate illnesses. For example he had no business messing with Quaaludes or Demerol. He even recommended them and offered them to others, many of whom also became hooked. He had a copy of the Merc Manual, the doctors pharmacological Bible beside his bed. He told those around him that he knew what he was doing. Clearly, he did not. I missed him too.
Dr. Ghanem, and several other doctors, out of Las Vegas and Los Angeles, were providing Elvis with whatever he paid for. Dr. Nichopoulos was his primary care physician, and because he could not get these other doctors to share information with him about what they were selling to Elvis, Dr. Nick sometimes didn't even know what to treat Elvis for when he would O.D. Elvis Presley himself is ultimately to blame. As Joe Esposito once said about the situation, "How do you save a man from himself!" According to Dr. Nichopoulos, in his book, Elvis did not die of a heart attack or a drug overdose; he died of a complication due to an enlarged megacolon, which is called a "valsalva maneuver." This was due to a maternal inheritance of mitochondrial disease. His mother died at the age of 46, just four years older than her son.
Exactly Valsalva Maneuver or straining or bearing down restricts blood & can lead to death in someone with a weakened heart. That is over simple but true.
I read dr Nick started his addiction by prescribing pills but then tried to get him off and Elvis started going to las vegas and seeing another doctor that they actually call doctor feelgood. This doctor was known for prescribing pills to all the vegas stars
Dr. Nick wrote this book for the money, Period! Most everyone knows that when Elvis died Dr. Nick was deeply indebt to both Elvis and to others. He also spent loads of money on legal fees after Elvis's death. He went to court twice and lost his medical license in the second case. I don't think they were very close friends. Elvis saw Dr. Nick as a decent man that was easy to manipulate. Dr. Nick saw Elvis as a cash crop and to a life-style very few will ever experience. The life story of Elvis Presley is really two stories. The life he portrayed to the public when he was alive and the other life after death where the real facts of his live are presented to the public for the first time. I was 16 years old when Elvis died. I also remember up to the time he passed he was thought to be America's Golden Boy. The General Public knew nothing of Elvis's drug use or problems relating to it. However, his Memphis Mafia Crew knew everything and to keep their jobs they were required to keep their mouths closed.
This stupid Dr was still trying to cash out $ by putting Elvis name in his stupid book. We all know Elvis was druggie since 19 yrs, upper/downers/opium, etc. Memphis mafia some tried to stop him then they got fired.
Possibly true that the book was wriiten for money, Priscilla and every other acquaintance rode on the coattails of his name. In my view, knowing what I know, it would rather seem that the Dr is finally setting the record straight after the media, especially a specific news cast in 1979, ignited the spark of drug abuse that has spread like wild fire without anyone stopping it. Please read my comment and watch the clip provided.
Doctor Nick says."Elvis'death has nothing to do with prescription drugs"I don't thing so. Certainly he was a clever physician, a good and caring friend to Elvis, but he gave him TOO MANY PILLS AND DRUGS: : three four at the time and three or four times a day. When he was not there, he asked his aunt Delta, to give other pills, the day before he died. It's true that, at those days,the danger of such medications was not well known, yet a reasonable moderation would have been to be hoped for, especially from a doctor who should know the interferences with various drugs..The drug information leaflets didnt exist at those time? The tragic truth is that the poor Elvis had in his body 14 drugs, when he died!Every body loved him, everybody wanted to help him, but nobody did it.
A Burrows Glad you agreed with me. Gladys death was a tragedy to Elvis and, in my opinion changed all the course of his life.She was the only person whom he listened to.She would warn him against the false friends and parasites that surrounded him,she would advice him to marry Anita Wood, she knew her and appreciated her, she was a Memphis girl who loved him truly who shared with him music, readings, and inner feelings (what Elvis needed about everything, even sex),she knew how to behave with a southern man.Probably he would have not a restless soul and he would not start taking prescription drugs already in Germany.His mother would have noticed it very soon when it was possible to help him.When Anita found Priscilla's almost dayly letters begging him to comvince her parents to let her go to Graceland, she,with dignity, told him and his father hat their relationship was at the end,he replied crying:"I hope that it is not our biggest mistake" Dear friend, these are only my thoughts and my feelings suggested by my love to Elvis.We were not there and only God knows now the truth.
A Burrows Yes, he didn't like to be alone especially during the night; he had nightmares, insomnia and sleepwalking, so he needed to have a woman sleeping with him sometimes because he was attracted by her,but often to have company and share readings feelings and thoughts.he had a complex and conflicting personality.He needed to be understood and loved unconditionally and only his mother could have helped him, notwithstanding that Anita,juanico,Linda, Sheila loved him truly and he loved them. Too sad. too sad........
A Burrows I agree with all you wrote in your comment. Your psycological analysis is absolutely right.About Sheila , I heard only one of her interviews and maybe I misunderstood some of her statements.Can you kindly tell me what she said not very nice about Elvis? Thank you a lot..
A Burrows Thank you so much,very kind of you.!The interview I heard is not the one you are referring to. You are right that she wasn't very nice to Elvis.I know that she married Caan soon after leaving Elvis and that she died of breast cancer.Unfortunately,living in Rome (Italy),I can't see what you see and above all I can't find and buy many books about Elvis.I am not able to buy them on line, so I'll apply to a IBS big library here in Rome.By the way, could you suggest.me the title of the most interesting and reliable books about the King? (of course no gossip books) I have the two books by Peter Guralnick and others by Italian authors.I am going to hear "Elvis Presley O capitulo final" Thanks to You Tube I have it.I am very sad and upset because in my opinion,Elvis is not remembered enough in Italy even though there are some fanclubs,There are not important anniversary celebrations like in Australia, Japan, England and so on. Here Elvis is considered an American icon,whereas he is universal.The majority of people don't know him and they recognize only the Beatles as the great innovators of music.This makes me sad. I love him so much!Thank you again for your help, All the best Anna Maria.
A Burrows Dear friend, I thank you for your comment. I understand perfectly what you say and feel.I subscribe all your words,because I have your same feelings towards Elvis.I am depressed, have a lot of problems in my body and my soul: my two sons give me a lot of troubles.When I see and listen to Elvis, I forget my solitude amd my pains.You Tube is my consolation,yet when I think about his life so happy and successful in the first part,and so sad and tragic in the last,,when I see his wonderful smile and his unforgettable sleeping blue eyes,when I hear is incredible sweet voice,the emotion is so strong that I don't know whether the tears in my eyes are from joy or sorrow..His ex-wife, his true and false friends, his ambiguous manage ,all people who hurt him, disappear from my mind,and only Elvis remains deep in my heart.He will never die.Ciao
There are several surgical approaches to treat megacolon, such as a colectomy[8] (removal of the entire colon) with ileorectal anastomosis (ligation of the remaining ileum and rectum segments), or a total proctocolectomy (removal of colon, sigmoid and rectum) followed by ileostomy or followed by ileoanal anastomosis.
I personally believe that because of who he was, he really became the victim after all. Talk is cheap when the story's good. He is the one that paid the price and left the ones that truly loved him.
People blame Dr. Nick....bodyguards for not doing anything to help. Those who interfered were told to mind thier own business and or fired. Elvis was addicted to prescription medication..he had his own PDR (Physician's Desk Reference) and knew what pills he could get for what ailment. If Dr. Nick couldn't get it, Elvis would find a doctor that could. To be honest, If there is any blame, I would direct it to Colonel (carny) Parker. He placed Elvis in the cog...and endless touring schedule...the same cities..the same stages over and over. He denied Elvis a world tour as well as more serious movie roles. Turned down a role opposite Barbara Streisand in a remake of "A Star is Born" in the mid 70's. Elvis needed to be challenged. The 1973 satellite special from Hawaii was his last challenge, which he rose to the occasion as we see. After that, Elvis slowly spiraled into an early grave. Had he done these things he wanted, I believe he would still be alive today..or at least live longer than 1977.
Yes people says he’s alive ! The autopsy was done on another’ person’s body which they had found already in conjunction with his Dr .This look -alike Elvis , was already on life support and it was the one body the paramedics found laying on the floor and that’s why in the autopsy they found codeine , Elvis never used codeine , he was allergic to it . Do some research on this on RU-vid, lots of Inf there and then make your own conclusions.
Elvis was not addicted to prescription medication or any other drugs for that matter. Elvis was being treated for various health conditions of which most were hereditary. Please read my comment and watch the clip provided there.
The Doctor was a good old boy of the Elvis King of rock&roll. I have been in and keep providers professional and prefer women doctors because they give them orders and really heal.
OMGosh he is such a list, Elvis was an Addict. He knew it but he gave Elvis what he wanted, as much as he wanted. Because Elvis loaned him thousands of dollars not long before his death. Wish he could admit his wrong doing
Exactly. But it was not drugs. It was hypertension along with other health conditions that were all hereditary. Please read my comment and watch the clip provided there.
@@dweebgamer-nk2wc Nope, nothing like Jim Morrison. Elvis took medicine as a patient not drugs to get high. Please read my comment and watch the clip provided there.
@@boldchick101 I would love to read your comment, but the only comments I can find are the ones that say….please read my comment & link. Can you provide it please? I’m truly interested in it 👍🏻Thanks in advance.
BTW, drugs had NOTHING to do with his death, as the investigation into his death certificate CONFIRMED -- heart attack due to bowel paralysis, which isn't caused by drugs. I wish people would stop dissing Elvis, who's not around to defend himself.
I don't believe either that prescription medication was the cause of Elvis's death. I certainly believe Elvis was highly addicted to all the medication that was found in his system and prescribed that's not even up for debate. Dr. Nick is trying to minimize Elvis's addiction problem for one reason I assume is because he was his primary doctor, but it's public knowledge he was prescribed something like 5,000 pills in around a month. The medication did contribute to some of his health issues like the problems with his intestines that's obviously do to an addiction to pain medication. One thing I never understood Charlie Hodge said that Dr. Nick said Elvis had bone cancer which Charlie is the only one I have ever heard say that. Charlie adored Elvis I just don't get why he would say that.
@@lorichet the number of prescriptions written say it all, Dr. Nick was practicing way beneath the accepted standards of practice, why his medical license was permanently suspended...if you doubt it was permanently suspended- see New York Times article on DR. Nicks obituary....
Elvis friend the colonel saw to it he got the best deals, Elvis didn't want to travel outa the States, that's why he got 'badged up' so he could cc, everywhere in the States, had his 'boys' badged up also, don't you just love the boy!...
I do believe there was more to it. He blew up and looked swollen to much, there was more going on. So having a colon problem was a factor in all of this also. EP should have put his ego in check, and got more involved in taking care of his body. He was blessed to have the means to take care of himself.
yes and I said that ....he didn't look fat like they called him ...I say predisone .....and what benefit would he get from it ....not high . my sister was on it for lupus and at my wedding she said she looked like Elvis ..and she actually did ....
Avec tout ce qu'il prenait par apport aux ordonnances certains qui etait proche disait que ça aurai assommé un éléphant plus tout le reste pour tenir .
He borrowed a boat load of money from Elvis. He just wants to set the record straight, but you can send the money to HIS bank account! LOL Squeeze that last drop out of the old milk cow Doc, ...........................Squeeze it!!
Look it's terribly terribly heartbreaking and so unbelievably tragic but the truth is the truth even without the drugs being present in Elvis's system he still would've died irregardlessly.
Because we are all going to eventually right? Because you can't possibly say that he would have still died that day, he got 2 packets of pills after the first pack failed to help him go to sleep. 14 drugs in his system when he died
Elvis NEVER became a parody of himself. Elvis got ill. Those weren't gaudy outfits, they were custom works of ART, and each one had a special meaning. They represented HIS RESPECT for the DIVERSITY of his fans. Elvis spoke through his music and clothing attire. He was ALWAYS a trendsetter. Elvis suffered from inflammatory issues that were the cause of him appearing overweight. He really wasn't all that "fat". His enlarged colon and heart (colon was 3 times the normal size of a man his size) were just part of a condition that doctors were just learning to figure out about. It was a small number of THE PEOPLE, cruel people that MADE FUN OF HIM, ruthlessly, that was the parody. THEY were the joke. What Elvis needed was REHAB & REST. 6 months AWAY FROM THE BUSINESS, to lean himself out and see a NEW SET OF DOCTORS and most importantly TO FIRE "Tom Parker" and "Dr Nick". Parker was on the way out... But Dr Nick Elvis placed his trust in. Back then, we blindly trusted all our doctors. Elvis was first in many things. Unfortunately, Elvis TRUSTED his physician. He could never of fathomed that his OWN DOCTOR was feeding him lethal doses (many times over) of painkillers and other pharmaceuticals (instead of DOING THE ACTUAL WORK OF TREATING HIS CONDITIONS -- and recommending THAT ELVIS SEE SPECIALISTS for each ailment). Michael Jackson was killed by his physician in a VERY, VERY similar way. Elvis was repetitively blindsided by PARKER AND NICK, LITERALLY TO DEATH... and they cheated THE WORLD of one of its most BEAUTIFUL & GENEROUS & TALENTED HUMAN BEINGS.
Dr Nick still in denial. He knew the drugs led to his death without any doubt. It was not good Nick would not tell the truth to bad. I don't think Nick ever knew Elvis as someone like Charlie Hodge did. Nick said he never read any other books but he criticised all the ones that came out? From what I know and learned about Elvis I would have to say Charlie Hodge was Elvis Best friend. I could hear the respect Elvis would give to Charlie. Elvis had many friends but I don't think any was as close to Elvis as Charlie. He worked with Elvis on stage and played off stage Elvis said Charlie, your family when Charlie went to see his parents on Christmas Elvis would say, Come on Charlie you always leave on Christmas don't you know your family Charlie? Charlie felt bad and said, but Elvis, I have not seen my mom and Dad in awhile Elvis. Elvis would say, oh ya ok Charlie but I am still mad lol. Charlie would ask Elvis to come but Elvis had other obligations also so they hooked up about a week latter. Did you ever notice after Elvis died you never seen Charlie with any of the other guys that worked with Elvis? No, Charlie knew something we never knew. Charlie never bad mouthed or backbite anyone that I know he was a real freind to Elvis.
Charlie mentioned Elvis' true health in an interview, he told about why there were huge prescriptions in Elvis' name and about in how much physical pain Elvis was.
He SAID drugs had nothing to do with his death.. Then what was his health condition that killed him? 20 seconds later says he put him in touch with rehab for dependency!
Ross Best Shame you can’t hear probably previous he said he came back from California after six months where he was supposed to be getting acupuncture therapy, but instead was getting injections of drugs and and becoming addicted nick then got him involved in rehab, replay the interview before you make up stories that fuel lies about dr nick
@@victoriapiccone8901 Funny that Dr Nick was found innocent in a court of law after he'd proven Elvis' medical history as well as how and why prescriptions were allocated. You seem to be the liar because your homework has not been done and you stubbornly refuse to accept that you have the cat by the tail.
You should learn to listen better, your summary is inaccurate. Dr Nick was treating Elvis for a multitude of illnesses that were not understood in the 70's. Dr Nick was acquitted in a trial because he could prove that the rumours spread by the media and ignorant "insiders" were lies. Your problem is the same as every other person who listens to main stream media, you are led astray by sensasionalism and suffer from the Mandela effect which means that the lie is so familiar to you that the truth seems unacceptable. Elvis had high blood pressure, he had had 3 silent heart attacks before the 4th one that killed him. The medical condition that killed Elvis was a heart attack, just as the autopsy said.
@@victoriapiccone8901 You never had any credibility you fool! You are too stupid to see and acknowledge Elvis' medical history. My credibility is not based on whether Dr Nick lost his license or not, my credibility is based on Elvis' medical history which you know diddly squat about and refuse to get informed about. You are simply too stupid to get how sick Elvis actually was, any doctor would have had to prescribe to Elvis what Dr Nick did. No one can expect a small mind like yours to phathom the extent of Elvis' hereditary health problems that he struggled with, and needed medication for, since birth. Shame, it must be tough to have a mind so small that you cannot even get grammar correct, it is Dr Nick's medical license, not Dr Nick medical license, idiot. It sounds to me like you are on meth or something, your mind is as tightly shut as a clam and you reason like a set of compasses -- you simply cannot see beyond one point only.
this guy owed Elvis ALOT of money a was another user like they all are they didn't care a kitty about the real Elvis. only the M o n e y. Elvis was not appreciated by any one around him his fans a band loved him more. Sandra miller
Terrific guy Dr Nicholas, best thing Elvis ever done getting dr nick as the doctor for all the boys not only Elvis!.. Carried a 32 in his doctor's bag, O an was 'badged up' as Elvis liked all his boys to be !
He shortened all of their lives with pills for money and none of them ever actually had to pull a gun in their line of work. But yes, like you it made them feel more manly and important. I guess we all need a crutch of some kind…
No, The autopsy report is not sealed. The autopsy was authorized by Vernon Presley. Therefore the autopsy report is private and belongs to the family. However in 2027 the death certificate will become a public record' after 50 years from the date of his death.
What drugs? Elvis never used hardcore street drugs, he hated drugs! Elvis had to take precription meds. Do you even know his medical history or are you just judgung from your high horse of ignorance and unempathetic self entitledness? You cope with chronic severe pain without meds, I would love to see you do that. Ask anyone in chronic pain, you do not know until you go through it yourself. For most cancer patients not even morphein works in normal doses after a while because our bodies are physiologically designed to adapt to chemical alterations. Go read a book on physiology, especially chemical function, so that you can get a better understanding.
3 inquiries by the state of Tennessee said it was an inheriant heart condition. WTF else do you need to know? Sure, he was addicted to prescription meds, ITS NOT WHAT KILLED HIM!
Gtorjoe Pontiac Your right people say things they know nothing about, you’d think they lived with Elvis people are all experts in Elvis’s life, apparently. I never new Elvis never spoke with him never seen him except on TV the good Dr Nick did however, now if dr nick was good enough for Elvis that’s good enough for me
Sure Elvis was responsible for what he did but Nick is a leach. (I wouldn’t give him the dignity of referring to him as Doctor). He just kept “treating” him. Shame on him.
Elvis P was responsible for his own decisions just like everyone else. Its easy to blame others for his tragic later years but it doesn’t help to avoid the truth. We all loved him but no physical body addicted to that many drugs can last long.
True, but his friends and family should’ve stopped him before it got to the stage where he was dependent on these drugs. It’s not like he took them to get high. It was so that he could feel normal. Doctor Nick overprescribed these drugs to Elvis which made him develop a dependency on them causing him not to be able to sleep at night without them.
One of Elvis deals too was he had hereditary thivgs thst plegued him. Elvis would have died anyway. Maybe not as soon. But he would have died in his 40s. He lost his mother died at age 46, and 3 uncles that died in their 40s. It was because of the hereditary diseases in their family. The drugs drugs didn’t help but he would have died before age 50 or shortly into his 50s. The book DESTINED TO DIE YOUNG by Sally Hoaks or something like thst. She did a study about the hereditary stuff in his family and really looked up all the info she got on him and she interviewed allot of people.
Elvis never decided to use drugs for recreation, in fact he used medicine for various health conditions which the media chose to sensasionalise to make more money than the truth would make for them. Please read my comment and watch the clip provided there.
Everyone seems to "know" what Elvis did. Were you all there? How do you "know" these things? Listen to Charley Hodge. Dr. Nick treated the entire entourage and carried a pharmacy with him all in Elvis' name for tax purposes. Elvis paid for medical care for all his employees while on tour.
I read the book and am none the wiser. Dr Nick seems to be trying to absolve himself with modern day science. 20 years the authorities went after him for which he blames the media. It's established that Elvis could not have died of an overdose but it doesn't mean there wasn't wrongdoing. In today's money Dr Nick received over a million in gifts and loans from Elvis which didn't help his case. Disturbing that he sued Elvis in 1976 but Elvis keeps him on. I've always thought Elvis was ultimately to blame but question if he was in control of his life.
Ugh… I don’t believe him totally. He’s changing things to protect himself. Don’t think he is totally responsible but not as innocent either. Elvis worst enemy was Elvis and the others around him catered to him for whatever reason. Difficult situation to be in. Too bad Presley passed when he did, because from what I read he hit his rock bottom and seemed he was ready to ask for help. Wonder how many times Parker stood in his way.
It's funny how Joe Blow who has probably has never even been in the same state as Elvis has a opinion that he or she thinks is more important than Elvis' personal physician.
