@@victoriapiccone8901 The Doctor & nurse did not check bowel sounds or keep records of HABITS? That is 101 nursing. The nurse gives the drugs with no follow up? Elvis had a cemented baruim enema stuck in him with pounds of fecal matter backed up behind that. Elvis didnt crap for weeks. Ginger said elvis was happy & wanted to get married. Goes to show people that Elvis pretended to be happy and must have been miserable uncomfortable & emotionally distraught & in fear of having to go onstage after that book came out. No wonder he died. This is too much quackery. Elvis Presley died of neglect surrounded by people who said they loved him. They loved the money & gifts/lifestyle more.
100%! I think EVERYONE should read " Destined to die young" & DR Forrest Tennants (World renowned Neurologists, was present at all 4 of Elvis Autopsies, was the state hired Medical Expert for Dr Nichopoulos trial VS the Tennessee medical board & The State of Tennessee wrongful death trial. He is the only person who has has Elvis ENTIRE medical files from Birth to death, has written hundreds of medical articles in the New England Medical journal on Elvis, podcasts, blogs all with Dr Nick & was the Medical Expert also hired in Howard Hughes 1970's trial, and STILL practices medicine). Elvis had MAJOR health problems from birth. There is WAY more to that story. His mom, Grandma Doll & 6 of his 8 uncles all died in their 40's. Elvis suffered 4 traumatic brain injuries the last being in 1967. He tripped over a television cord in the bathroom and he was unconcious for over 8hrs before he was found! According to his medical records and everyone around him he was never the same. He suffered from massive migraines and developed glaucoma hence the shades you start seeing in 1969. It's what made his eyes water on stage so much. According to his autopsy findings a piece of his brain tissue was jarred loose passing thru his brain barrier. His body began attacking it like a foreign substance and lead to an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Then his body began to attack itself. In 1967 they had NO CLUE about Brain Injuries and just how they affect the body. They noted on his medical records at the time that he had 'post concussion syndrome'. By 1970 Elvis was having major problems with his memory , remembering lyrics and names, severe body aches & chronic pain. His joints and limbs, even his lower spine to the point he started using a cane. He wouldn't do Karate as much on stage and he started needing much stronger medications. By 1971 he was seeing 13 specialists trying to diagnose exactly what was causing so many ailments. They had NO MRI's or CT scans, only XRays! He took perscriptions to deal with his Genetic health problems (now we know found at all 4 Autopsys), his enlarged paralyzed colon, Glaucoma, Antitrypsin Deficiency, a condition which can result in lung and/or liver disease both of which he had severely at the time of his death. Elvis was never a smoker or drinker. He had Together with the immune system disorder, hypogammaglobulinemia, which plagued Elvis all his life and caused him to constantly fight various infections. His “inherited” weak heart, reactive arthritis, and the impact of his nocturnal lifestyle, resulting in a lack of vitamin D, the effects of which contributed to respiratory infections, reduced immune function, and inflammation. He had Cytochrome disease a defect in his CYP2D6 gene that can convert Coedine into Morphine in the body. Which is why he developed Cushings Disease. He had spinal blocks in 1975 in his spine which caused Cushings. He stopped breathing and was placed into the hospital, his face, and Abdomen were huge and would never fully go down. The press was calling him fat, but he was so sick. Only a handful of people knew what really was going on. Dr Forrest Tennant a world leading Neurologists was given all Elvis medical files and was at all 4 autopsies. He represented Elvis Dr Nick Nichopoulos at his trial in the State of Tennessee & against the Medical Board. He was the specialists in Howard Hughes Medical Trial too. He had written a book on this, numerous blogs, medical journal contributions, and even a podcast. He is still practicing medicine and talks openly about how this lead EXACTLY to Elvis death. People are still repeating the same uneducated guesses that 4 autopsies have disproven and medical science keeps proving were wrong. Of the 11 bodily systems that operate to keep us alive and hopefully healthy. Critically, Elvis suffered disease or disorder in nine of them! And five were present from birth and pre his fame. His heart (circulatory system), his lungs (respiratory system), and his bowels (digestive/excretory systems) required medication. Insomnia affected his nervous system……His immune system was compromised. His urinary system was not functioning properly. At one point there was even talk of dialysis. Often he is dismissed as just another rock ‘n’ roll drug addict. He wasn't taking street drugs. He was taking perscriptions not to "ESCAPE" he was taking them to try to maintain some sense of normalcy as himself in a time where the medical field was limited. No DNA, Genetics, No MRI's, little known about the addiction, his dystrophy & No understanding of Vitamin D even. Looking at the illnesses and disorders, that mounted upon each other over the decades, it’s no coincidence that Elvis’ prescription drug use increased as his health declined. From ear infections to chronic tonsilitis to recurrent flus to eye infections and glaucoma…..these arguably insignificant ailments independently, grew into something more. As his body broke down, alongside multiple immune system disorders and genetic complications, prescription medication and his handy PDR tried to fill the gaps. When that no longer worked, hospital stays became the norm and his list of ailments grew. The sicker he got, the more prescriptions he was prescribed. He was seeing a cardiologist before he bought Graceland. He was 20yrs old. They have gone through Elvis's entire life of medical records & now have an entire different story now. This is all the facts Geraldo & 20/20 never stated. He accidentally took the Codine the dentist's gave him that night due to the volume found in his blood at autopsy. His Genetic condition of Cytochrome Disease of his CYP2D6 defect caused his Coedine to build up in toxic levels to which he was deathly allergic to. He had been hospitalized twice before and had stopped breathing on a previous flight from. It caused his massively enlarged heart that was already failing to stop. His heart was 3 times a natural size weighing 520grams. It was missed in all 3 of his last medical visits. It had given him problems from records stating ATLEAST age 19. Hastened along by an rich Southern diet & an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder poor Elvis didn't stand a chance. Science wasn't even to the point where they could have helped him.
That picture was taken so close to when he died in77 Elvis in that concert was the most famous picture of Elvis he looked out of this world a very good looking man and that is coming from me a man and a fan of the king
Another cause that a lot of people are overlooking is Tom parker. Now I'm not saying he totally responsible but it was parker who kept him on the road back and forth across the country and not to mention the month long engagements in Vegas just so he could pay his gambling debts. With all that pressure it's no wonder Elvis had a drug problem. But in the end it was Elvis who paid the price.
Your comments are spot on. Elvis always thought he owed the Colonel!! and the Colonel knew this, if he had given Elvis time off to rest but instead he worked him till there was no more to give, the more money E earned the more CTP gambled.
Bullshit. Parker has absolutely nothing to with Elvis' addiction on drugs. Ridiculous to say that you think it s normal to use drugs. Elvis himself wanted to do all those shows because he needed the money. Parker gambled indeed in Vegas. So what ? It was his money, wasn't it ? He could do whatever he liked to do with his money, same as Elvis. Elvis performed in Vegas to earn money. Not because Parker gambled there. Bullshit.
You are clueless about the situation. He booked Elvis 70 shows a month while in Nevada. Celine Dion does 12 a month. The colonel made Dr Nic shoot him up to keep going.

Kudos to the reporter and Fox for setting the records straight, and care and respect that they showed. I actually feel for Elvis. He was the first "rock star". He didn't really have a blueprint to follow.
Setting the record straight that they're talking about is that it wasn't his percription medication why he died....Elvis was struggling with health problems .... destined to die young is another book that explains his health struggles from birth
You are right. It just shows they aren't true fans. WE LOVE ELVIS and they just know he was a singer. God bless you fellow Elvis fans and Merry Christmas!!!!
@@baq8680 she even said it was before his Aloha show. Now, if Elvis performed that concert in January 1973, when was the pic taken, on his birthday ??? The media don't know shit.
This! ELVIS HAD A NURSE GIVING HIM HIS 24/7 BY THE BOOK. He died from his MAJORRRRRRRR health problems he battled his entire life. The stupid Elvis Movie just tells the same Geraldo Conspiracy Theory that was proven wrong in 4 Autopsies. Vernon had his Autopsy sealed. DR Nick & DR Forrest Tennant are the ONLY DR'S who were there for all 4 and had Elvis' entire medical files FROM BIRTH for court. Priscilla herself HAS NEVER SEEN THE AUTOPSY OR SEEN THE MEDICAL FILES. Lisa repeats what her Mom told her as a child, and Priscilla was just guessing by what she knew from living with Elvis 10yrs prior.
The Hawaii photo was 1977, you can see his last Girlfriend Ginger next to him, they only met early '77, no big deal but never hurts to get the correct info, everyone lives a know it all right.
Substituting placebos is the worst thing to do to try to decrease the amount taken. The patient will think that the dose prescribed isn't working anymore and will either seek something stronger or take more. Best way to ensure the patient overdoses.
The placebo effect is a very real thing. Elvis believed he had taken the meds and he performed as if he did. Obviously that doesn't work every time but I applaud the doctor for trying to slow down Elvis's drug intake.
O Dr Nike sabia realmente qual era a doença que Elvis tinha. Mas mesmo assim não realizou um tratamento adequado e ainda continuo a receitar as drogas para Elvis.
The Hawaii photo was not from 1973 but from March of 1977...how hard is it to get that stuff right. If you don't know, don't say 1973, say sometime in the 70's.
🔝👑 Elvis created a social musical universe. The greatest of all, he also taught how to sing with the body. The January 14, 1973 televised concert from Hawaii, world population less than 4 billion people, and the King's performance was seen by one and a half billion people. Then Elvis always performed in the USA (except rarely in Canada in the 1950s), while all the other greats such as Beatles Michael Jackson Frank Sinatra performed everywhere, even in Italy, and some even at the Sanremo festival such as Lous Armstrong Queen Tina Turner Paul McCartney Madonna Bruce Springsteen. Elvis is the greatest ever and today marks 46 since his birth in heaven👑⚡🔝❤️
He only had 2 tiny traces of pills. READ WORLD RENOUNED DR FORREST TENNANTS AUTOPSY REPORT (ALL FOUR). AND HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE. ITS CUT AND DRY, WALKS YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE THING AND EACH ORGAN.

The case of Elvis death was reopened in 1994. Dr Davis who was the coroner engaged to investigate the circumstances said; "There is nothing that supports a death from drugs, In fact, everything points to a sudden, violent heart attack".
Gladys had Hepatitus. Liver failure is what killed her. Not a heart attack. Her heart may've been affected by her enlarged liver but that wasn't her COD. Liver failure was.
Hey Donald what you want them to do turn down a chance of working with elvis he was very astute at choosing his friends and did not make friends easily I think you do not give credit to elvis at how smart he really was
Smart people pick friends that keep them in check, not yes men...This story has to be the ultimate paradox, his demise was pathetic especially with so many caring & loving people around him...
You see, by most of these comments there are people who still want to believe the worst of Elvis. not everyone who takes drugs dies from drugs! Godspeed to you E.
No, they believe the facts. He lived a destructive lifestyle and abused drugs for years. You're delusional if you think that didn't contribute to his death.
J Pep Screw you, you are the one who can't believe the facts from the news, so many hater's, do like the scarecrow in the wizard of Oz, ask for a heart & show some give a damn
Not at 42? How many young actors have died from prescription drugs? Stop it. He was being prescribed an excessive amount of pills. The withdrawals alone would kill someone. You don't have to be a doctor or user to understand and see the facts. The actual prescription pads and how many pills he was prescribed.
When Joe tells that story today he is saying that now, but back then at that moment Joe did not say that. In fact Joe said to Dr. Nick when he arrived that he heard Elvis breathe when he turned Elvis' body over. So maybe thats why Dr. Nick worked on Elvis on the way to the hospital. But Dr. Nick should had known he was already dead, since rigor mortis had already set in. - and so should the doctors who worked on him for some 20 minutes, but it was probably because it was Elvis Presley. Had it been any other John Doe person they would had pronounced him dead at the scene.
Вот в чём врачебная ошибка ! По словам доктора Ника он мог бы спасти Элвиса ,если бы знал ! Но ведь Элвис знал о мегаколон ! Почему его не прооперировали!!!???Поздно обследовали , не правильно лечили !!! Это касается и его других заболеваний ,а их было немало !
Gassbagger woods..yes, believe it...the Dr actually tried his damndest to help Elvis..so many rumors out there there are not true,DR. Nick was a good doctor no matter what the gossip mongers say. Read his book, The King and Dr. Nick..DR. Mick was balmed for things he did not do.Elvis cause of death was a heart attack,not drug overdose as many have stated.Elvis had so much worng with him,so many health problems..and a young woman with him that was sleeping instead of keeping an eye on him.

If he did have that condition, why wasn't it found sooner? This condition should have been diagnosed before it became critical - they had x-rays etc in the 1970's, for heaven's sake! If anyone is as constipated as all that he says, boy it would have been obvious to a live-in doctor and nurse - crazy. A specialised toxicology lab did 2 drug screenings on the amount of drugs in his system and I believe their findings. Very sad.
A very good story, what's NOT GOOD ARE, these jerks I've read their comments and too many just trash talk the Dr & Elvis, do they think the same about Elvis Mother, she died the same age as Elvis from her bad health... Can't the hater's & people calling Elvis a drug addict see that? And some comments on why you say he died, where did you go to medical school??? Stop the gossip mill & believe what the Dr says, he sure knew way more than you arm chair critics... And the Rude things y'all said about Dr Nick looking like..... I'll not repeat it, have mercy, the man had just survived 2 strokes, can ya have some sympathy for a fine man or fine Men??? I sometimes can't believe the rudeness of people who throw words around in vindictive ways, do you have any human empathy or care for your fellow man???? God says to love one another, care for each other, I know we can all be crude at times, but, after that news story, come on, have a little love, these men still have family members living, can you imagine how those rude words hurt their loved ones, I guess y'all just don't care, you just love throwing stones. I pitty folks like y'all... No heart just down right mean as a snake

He is the only person who has has Elvis ENTIRE medical files from Birth to death, has written hundreds of medical articles in the New England Medical journal on Elvis, podcasts, blogs all with Dr Nick & was the Medical Expert also hired in Howard Hughes 1970's trial, and STILL practices medicine). Elvis had MAJOR health problems from birth. There is WAY more to that story. His mom, Grandma Doll & 6 of his 8 uncles all died in their 40's. Elvis suffered 4 traumatic brain injuries the last being in 1967. He tripped over a television cord in the bathroom and he was unconcious for over 8hrs before he was found! According to his medical records and everyone around him he was never the same. He suffered from massive migraines and developed glaucoma hence the shades you start seeing in 1969. It's what made his eyes water on stage so much. According to his autopsy findings a piece of his brain tissue was jarred loose passing thru his brain barrier. His body began attacking it like a foreign substance and lead to an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Then his body began to attack itself. In 1967 they had NO CLUE about Brain Injuries and just how they affect the body. They noted on his medical records at the time that he had 'post concussion syndrome'. By 1970 Elvis was having major problems with his memory , remembering lyrics and names, severe body aches & chronic pain. His joints and limbs, even his lower spine to the point he started using a cane. He wouldn't do Karate as much on stage and he started needing much stronger medications. By 1971 he was seeing 13 specialists trying to diagnose exactly what was causing so many ailments. They had NO MRI's or CT scans, only XRays! He took perscriptions to deal with his Genetic health problems (now we know found at all 4 Autopsys), his enlarged paralyzed colon, Glaucoma, Antitrypsin Deficiency, a condition which can result in lung and/or liver disease both of which he had severely at the time of his death. Elvis was never a smoker or drinker. He had Together with the immune system disorder, hypogammaglobulinemia, which plagued Elvis all his life and caused him to constantly fight various infections. His “inherited” weak heart, reactive arthritis, and the impact of his nocturnal lifestyle, resulting in a lack of vitamin D, the effects of which contributed to respiratory infections, reduced immune function, and inflammation. He had Cytochrome disease a defect in his CYP2D6 gene that can convert Coedine into Morphine in the body. Which is why he developed Cushings Disease. He had spinal blocks in 1975 in his spine which caused Cushings. He stopped breathing and was placed into the hospital, his face, and Abdomen were huge and would never fully go down. The press was calling him fat, but he was so sick. Only a handful of people knew what really was going on. Dr Forrest Tennant a world leading Neurologists was given all Elvis medical files and was at all 4 autopsies. He represented Elvis Dr Nick Nichopoulos at his trial in the State of Tennessee & against the Medical Board. He was the specialists in Howard Hughes Medical Trial too. He had written a book on this, numerous blogs, medical journal contributions, and even a podcast. He is still practicing medicine and talks openly about how this lead EXACTLY to Elvis death. People are still repeating the same uneducated guesses that 4 autopsies have disproven and medical science keeps proving were wrong. Of the 11 bodily systems that operate to keep us alive and hopefully healthy. Critically, Elvis suffered disease or disorder in nine of them! And five were present from birth and pre his fame. His heart (circulatory system), his lungs (respiratory system), and his bowels (digestive/excretory systems) required medication. Insomnia affected his nervous system……His immune system was compromised. His urinary system was not functioning properly. At one point there was even talk of dialysis. Often he is dismissed as just another rock ‘n’ roll drug addict. He wasn't taking street drugs. He was taking perscriptions not to "ESCAPE" he was taking them to try to maintain some sense of normalcy as himself in a time where the medical field was limited. No DNA, Genetics, No MRI's, little known about the addiction, his dystrophy & No understanding of Vitamin D even. Looking at the illnesses and disorders, that mounted upon each other over the decades, it’s no coincidence that Elvis’ prescription drug use increased as his health declined. From ear infections to chronic tonsilitis to recurrent flus to eye infections and glaucoma…..these arguably insignificant ailments independently, grew into something more. As his body broke down, alongside multiple immune system disorders and genetic complications, prescription medication and his handy PDR tried to fill the gaps. When that no longer worked, hospital stays became the norm and his list of ailments grew. The sicker he got, the more prescriptions he was prescribed. He was seeing a cardiologist before he bought Graceland. He was 20yrs old. They have gone through Elvis's entire life of medical records & now have an entire different story now. This is all the facts Geraldo & 20/20 never stated. He accidentally took the Codine the dentist's gave him that night due to the volume found in his blood at autopsy. His Genetic condition of Cytochrome Disease of his CYP2D6 defect caused his Coedine to build up in toxic levels to which he was deathly allergic to. He had been hospitalized twice before and had stopped breathing on a previous flight from. It caused his massively enlarged heart that was already failing to stop. His heart was 3 times a natural size weighing 520grams. It was missed in all 3 of his last medical visits. It had given him problems from records stating ATLEAST age 19. Hastened along by an rich Southern diet & an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder poor Elvis didn't stand a chance. Science wasn't even to the point where they could have helped him.
Yeah he took drastic measures to reduce Elvis' drug intake... worked out pretty well. Elvis was dead long before Nichopolous got to him... he didn't have a thing to do with trying to save him. It makes him sad because he lost his golden goose...
Well that's your opinion. Trey disagrees with you and says Dr Nick truly cared for Elvis.snd whonwould turn down working for Elvis he was not an easy patient.
B Quinn IT's people like you that have ruined DR Nick's reputation...stop making stories up and go by the facts...not by rumors and stories with no basis.
I believe Elvis did suffer from autonomic neuropathy . . but why wasn’t it addressed? Dr. Nick was his main supplier of drugs and yet we hear nothing of Elvis’ condition until after he dies.
It wasn't diagnosed until his death. He had 13 world renowned specialists trying to diagnose him.

Elvis heart alone was three times it's Natural size weighing 520g & all the Neuropathy, Auto Immune Disease, Traumatic Brain injures(3?), 3 genetic problems, now they suspect Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. 😔
No that is misleading information. The autopsy report is a private medical record, which belongs to the Presley family. The death certificate however will after 50 years become a public record (in 2027)
@@no288 That's right. Tenn. law is that autopsy cannot be made public for 50 years. Privacy...Don't know if is still the law...so Vernon is not the one who will not release it until 2027
A bit Sloppy right off the bat - That picture was Elvis resting in Hawaii was in 1977, his FINAL year. The concert was in 1973 - Look at his appearance. Good report, though, and sad as well.

I talked with Dr.Nick myself, personally. It is wrong to accuse him of being solely responsible for Elvis' "death". It's important to remember that Elvis had more than one Doctor. I believe Dr.Nick to be a genuinely sincere man who in fact had Elvis' best interest at heart. Does one not even consider the fact that since Dr.Nick gave him placebos and after Elvis found out about that, that Elvis then went to his other Doctors and get the real drugs instead? It's fascinating how people falsely accuse and judge someone and something they don't even know anything about, but only believe what others and the media make them out to be! And some of you that are making hateful remarks about Dr. Nick's appearance, he was suffering from heart problems and like most patients with heart problems, estrogenic drugs are prescribed to treat it. Get educated, quit judging people you know nothing about, but most importantly.......STOP HATING!!!
+Peterthepiper My oh my, such hate for someone YOU don't even know. How pathetic can YOU be!?! All some of you people out there believe in are things that someone else said and you base your "knowledge" on their lack of understanding and their own personal assumptions of how someone is or is not. Just make the person out to the way YOU want them to be. It speaks volumes about the ones who JUDGED someone they don't even know. Don't hate, it will only ruin YOU...........
I know him a lot better than YOU and you my friend, don't even know me so therefore, again, don't try to make someone out to be the way YOU think they should be . Now, why would anyone admit to something if they have done no wrong. That would be like me accusing you of something you didn't do and demanding that you fess up to it just because I want to "hear" you admit to it. Sounds insane, doesn't it. But that is exactly what you are demanding from OJ and Dr. Nick! Let the first one without sin cast the first stone. Your far worse with your mindset than what your accusing these two men of. You really should be ashamed................DEAR :)
+Peterthepiper Pardon me ma'am, but no, OJ didn't kill his wife either just because you heard he did. I'm sure your enquiring mind should know this by now, but I digress!😂 Have a good day lady, now go and gossip with the rest of your lady friends😂
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 He did over supply though.Those drugs shut Elvis body down though.He would have been better off if he stayed in those movie contracts where they had some control over the intake.
God rest his soul. I feel for. Elvis. It's hard to believe anything somebody says. They are trying to cover up for theirself. Dr. Nick did prescribe. Elvis a lot of medication. Still that don't mean that is what killed. Elvis. There has been so many stories told. You don't know who to believe. Everything seems to be a cover up so they wouldn't be blamed for. Elvis's death. This is one thing we will never get an answer to. All. I can say is let. Elvis rest in. Peace. He has been through enough in his life time Let him rest now in peace with God our. Savior. He had. Always dreamed of meeting God and he is home now. Rest in peace. Elvis. You deserve it all ALWAYS WILL BE Remembered. No one will ever take your place. Elvis you will always be #1. Love you forev er and always. Miss you so much 💗
@@charzardtheking8407 Dr Nick didn't kill Elvis there is evidence of people close to Elvis actually trying to curb the drugs.Dr Nick was one of them though he did prescribe large amounts to Elvis they were also for Elvis entourage according to Charlie Hodge used it as a tax write off. Like Billy Smith said when Elvis wanted his pills he was going to get them somewhere.

By saying that, you obviously didn't pay attention to what this film said. You should watch it again. The virus that causes mega colon is what killed Elvis. Read my reply above under Ray Dickens.

As his body broke down, alongside multiple immune system disorders and genetic complications, prescription medication and his handy PDR tried to fill the gaps. When that no longer worked, hospital stays became the norm and his list of ailments grew. The sicker he got, the more prescriptions he was prescribed. He was seeing a cardiologist before he bought Graceland. He was 20yrs old. They have gone through Elvis's entire life of medical records & now have an entire different story now. This is all the facts Geraldo & 20/20 never stated. He accidentally took the Codine the dentist's gave him that night due to the volume found in his blood at autopsy. His Genetic condition of Cytochrome Disease of his CYP2D6 defect caused his Coedine to build up in toxic levels to which he was deathly allergic to. He had been hospitalized twice before and had stopped breathing on a previous flight from. It caused his massively enlarged heart that was already failing to stop. His heart was 3 times a natural size weighing 520grams. It was missed in all 3 of his last medical visits. It had given him problems from records stating ATLEAST age 19. Hastened along by an rich Southern diet & an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder poor Elvis didn't stand a chance. Science wasn't even to the point where they could have helped him.
Dr. Nick......? Is he the one they call Dr. Feelgood? Is he the one that makes you feel alright? Just kidding. Painkillers make you constipated. Years of painkillers give you a compacted colon. Am I right ?
In my opinion, Elvis died because of medical negligence by this quack and the doctors who treated him at the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis. They knew the condition of his internal organs, yet they still signed him off as fit and well to do another tour. Elvis should have been in hospital getting life saving treatment.
Exactly, now that i hear & really listen to many videos/reports, ect, after being checked by Doctors/nurses, WHY was Elvis always allowed to even leave the hospitals, i mean, come on!!
Dr.Nick. He.Had to Know that Elvis was Getting Prescriptions in His.Body Guards Names . They admitted to it and they even said that they hated Flying around getting scripts for him., Come on.
It said he died if drugs that caused his heart to stop If he is dead he didn't die of s bad heart he died of drugs He is was to.young to have heart disease .
Elvis 4 Dee There were two autopsies/reports, Vernon commissioned the second one. It’s private and sealed until 2027. If one pays personally and not the state, it can be kept private.
Only one autopsy However The case was reopen in 1994 but they only looked at the lab test and the autopsy report. The autopsy that was performed in 1977 was authorized by Vernon Presley. So the report will never be made public as state law prohibiting disclosure of private patient records. Its The death certificate that will become a public record after 50 years from the date of his death
@@no288 I have to disagree with you on this one my friend..... It is the LAW that if ANY person is found deceased and they were alone, an autopsy MUST be done. Elvis was found alone and deceased so Elvis was getting an autopsy with or without anyone's permission.....

I cant figure out why so many different reasons have been given for his death. I'm sure most of you recall the Charlie Hodge interview video, when Charlie said Elvis's bones were ravaged with cancer, that had spread all over his body, and that was what killed him. It's all still too fishy.
Bryan Wayne 'cus sometimes the cause of death is complicated. And Elvis was one of them .However there was no bone cancer. The docors who did the autopsy found no proof of that.- Take care
One can barely understand what he says...his face looks so different, seems as he's a different person. Elvis was the stubborn one, he should have listened to his doctor/-s, the thing is he thought he knew better than them, because he read a few medical books...
Elvis died hours before Dr nick even got to him in the ambulance
exactly !!
@@victoriapiccone8901 The Doctor & nurse did not check bowel sounds or keep records of HABITS? That is 101 nursing. The nurse gives the drugs with no follow up? Elvis had a cemented baruim enema stuck in him with pounds of fecal matter backed up behind that. Elvis didnt crap for weeks. Ginger said elvis was happy & wanted to get married. Goes to show people that Elvis pretended to be happy and must have been miserable uncomfortable & emotionally distraught & in fear of having to go onstage after that book came out. No wonder he died. This is too much quackery. Elvis Presley died of neglect surrounded by people who said they loved him. They loved the money & gifts/lifestyle more.
He may not have directly died from the drugs but the drugs indirectly contributed to his death.

That picture was taken so close to when he died in77 Elvis in that concert was the most famous picture of Elvis he looked out of this world a very good looking man and that is coming from me a man and a fan of the king
That picture from Hawaii that she said was from 1973 was NOT from 1973 but his vacation in March 1977. Sheesh…
Damn right, they don’t get their facts right a lot of times 😐
She was talking about the Aloha footage.
Exactly
She was talking about the Hawaii vacation! That was ‘77.
Exactly the media lies gets things wrong etc etc
Another cause that a lot of people are overlooking is Tom parker. Now I'm not saying he totally responsible but it was parker who kept him on the road back and forth across the country and not to mention the month long engagements in Vegas just so he could pay his gambling debts. With all that pressure it's no wonder Elvis had a drug problem. But in the end it was Elvis who paid the price.
Your comments are spot on. Elvis always thought he owed the Colonel!! and the Colonel knew this, if he had given Elvis time off to rest but instead he worked him till there was no more to give, the more money E earned the more CTP gambled.
Bullshit. Parker has absolutely nothing to with Elvis' addiction on drugs. Ridiculous to say that you think it s normal to use drugs. Elvis himself wanted to do all those shows because he needed the money. Parker gambled indeed in Vegas. So what ? It was his money, wasn't it ? He could do whatever he liked to do with his money, same as Elvis. Elvis performed in Vegas to earn money. Not because Parker gambled there. Bullshit.
You are clueless about the situation. He booked Elvis 70 shows a month while in Nevada. Celine Dion does 12 a month. The colonel made Dr Nic shoot him up to keep going.

I was glad to hear Dr. Nick talk abut Elvis medical problem's and let every know what was going on with his health
Debbie Boone Amen Sister
He murdered Elvis... stop being a liberal
Kudos to the reporter and Fox for setting the records straight, and care and respect that they showed. I actually feel for Elvis. He was the first "rock star". He didn't really have a blueprint to follow.
not sure they set any record strait ....
@@victoriapiccone8901 what do you mean?
Setting the record straight that they're talking about is that it wasn't his percription medication why he died....Elvis was struggling with health problems .... destined to die young is another book that explains his health struggles from birth
I dont believe a word this man says.
Everybody:"HI DOCTOR, NICK!" Dr. Nick: "HI EVERY BODY!" From the Simpsons.
thanks a lot for this and all the other excellent Elvis uploads. Dr Nick had a tough job.....damned if you do, damned if you don't
I think ur right....
Damned if you break your oath. No one forced him to be Elvis' physician.
He will be damned for all eternity
the news women didnt even know her elvis history the picture of them in Hawaii was his last vacation in march of 77
That pissed me off
No surprise there....Media lies about everything
You are right. It just shows they aren't true fans. WE LOVE ELVIS and they just know he was a singer. God bless you fellow Elvis fans and Merry Christmas!!!!
There are no real journalists anymore... they don't give a shit...
@@baq8680 she even said it was before his Aloha show.
Now, if Elvis performed that concert in January 1973, when was the pic taken, on his birthday ???
The media don't know shit.
I well always love you Elvis ❤
We won't know exactly...until the medical records are open in 2027 As per his father Vernon Presley.
This! ELVIS HAD A NURSE GIVING HIM HIS 24/7 BY THE BOOK. He died from his MAJORRRRRRRR health problems he battled his entire life. The stupid Elvis Movie just tells the same Geraldo Conspiracy Theory that was proven wrong in 4 Autopsies. Vernon had his Autopsy sealed. DR Nick & DR Forrest Tennant are the ONLY DR'S who were there for all 4 and had Elvis' entire medical files FROM BIRTH for court. Priscilla herself HAS NEVER SEEN THE AUTOPSY OR SEEN THE MEDICAL FILES. Lisa repeats what her Mom told her as a child, and Priscilla was just guessing by what she knew from living with Elvis 10yrs prior.
The Hawaii photo was 1977, you can see his last Girlfriend Ginger next to him, they only met early '77, no big deal but never hurts to get the correct info, everyone lives a know it all right.
Elvis the King
Just because it was in a book and they have said it doesn't mean it is truth they have covered something up.
And use the drugs as part of it
Substituting placebos is the worst thing to do to try to decrease the amount taken. The patient will think that the dose prescribed isn't working anymore and will either seek something stronger or take more. Best way to ensure the patient overdoses.
The placebo effect is a very real thing. Elvis believed he had taken the meds and he performed as if he did. Obviously that doesn't work every time but I applaud the doctor for trying to slow down Elvis's drug intake.
O Dr Nike sabia realmente qual era a doença que Elvis tinha. Mas mesmo assim não realizou um tratamento adequado e ainda continuo a receitar as drogas para Elvis.
1977 Relaxing in Hawaii, jeeze
This report is flawed , the Hawaii photo was from 1977 , the day of aug16th he was found around 130 pm in the afternoon .
The Hawaii photo was not from 1973 but from March of 1977...how hard is it to get that stuff right. If you don't know, don't say 1973, say sometime in the 70's.
🔝👑 Elvis created a social musical universe. The greatest of all, he also taught how to sing with the body. The January 14, 1973 televised concert from Hawaii, world population less than 4 billion people, and the King's performance was seen by one and a half billion people. Then Elvis always performed in the USA (except rarely in Canada in the 1950s), while all the other greats such as Beatles Michael Jackson Frank Sinatra performed everywhere, even in Italy, and some even at the Sanremo festival such as Lous Armstrong Queen Tina Turner Paul McCartney Madonna Bruce Springsteen. Elvis is the greatest ever and today marks 46 since his birth in heaven👑⚡🔝❤️
Mistake number 1. Asking Dr. to accompany on tour. Too late to appoint nurse to modify drugs after he'd gotten Elvis addicted.
Elvis was a big boy, knew what he was doing. Dr nick was left holding the bag. took a lot of heat he never deserved.
How many times she said Dr Nick in 45 seconds I swear I'll scream she says it again
Dr. Nick !
All these people like Joe espasito, Dr nick and so on where hangers on who loved the limelight of being around elvis,
Be honest wouldnt you have been also it was a big deal to be in the Elvis inner circle.
That simply is not true. Til the day he died Joe Esposito always defended Elvis and was a true friend.
If he watched the autopsy then why were Elvis's stomach contents discarded?
He only had 2 tiny traces of pills. READ WORLD RENOUNED DR FORREST TENNANTS AUTOPSY REPORT (ALL FOUR). AND HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE. ITS CUT AND DRY, WALKS YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE THING AND EACH ORGAN.

Insomnia affected his nervous system……His immune system was compromised. His urinary system was not functioning properly. At one point there was even talk of dialysis.
Often he is dismissed as just another rock ‘n’ roll drug addict. He wasn't taking street drugs. He was taking perscriptions not to "ESCAPE" he was taking them to try to maintain some sense of normalcy as himself in a time where the medical field was limited. No DNA, Genetics, No MRI's, little known about the addiction, his dystrophy & No understanding of Vitamin D even.
Looking at the illnesses and disorders, that mounted upon each other over the decades, it’s no coincidence that Elvis’ prescription drug use increased as his health declined. From ear infections to chronic tonsilitis to recurrent flus to eye infections and glaucoma…..these arguably insignificant ailments independently, grew into something more. As his body broke down, alongside multiple immune system disorders and genetic complications, prescription medication and his handy PDR tried to fill the gaps. When that no longer worked, hospital stays became the norm and his list of ailments grew.
The sicker he got, the more prescriptions he was prescribed. He was seeing a cardiologist before he bought Graceland. He was 20yrs old. They have gone through Elvis's entire life of medical records & now have an entire different story now. This is all the facts Geraldo & 20/20 never stated. He accidentally took the Codine the dentist's gave him that night due to the volume found in his blood at autopsy. His Genetic condition of Cytochrome Disease of his CYP2D6 defect caused his Coedine to build up in toxic levels to which he was deathly allergic to. He had been hospitalized twice before and had stopped breathing on a previous flight from. It caused his massively enlarged heart that was already failing to stop. His heart was 3 times a natural size weighing 520grams. It was missed in all 3 of his last medical visits. It had given him problems from records stating ATLEAST age 19. Hastened along by an rich Southern diet & an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder poor Elvis didn't stand a chance. Science wasn't even to the point where they could have helped him.
God bless you elvis in heaven❤️❤️❤️
The case of Elvis death was reopened in 1994. Dr Davis who was the coroner engaged to investigate the circumstances said; "There is nothing that supports a death from drugs, In fact, everything points to a sudden, violent heart attack".
Years of drug abuse contributed to his death.
no288 Amen to that
J Pep So, I guess his Mom was a drug user too since she died at the same age ,& health conditions, is that what you guess too??? Lay off Dude
Gladys had Hepatitus. Liver failure is what killed her. Not a heart attack. Her heart may've been affected by her enlarged liver but that wasn't her COD. Liver failure was.
No, Gladys had a heart attack at the hospital

And no one thought to give him surgery
Hey Donald what you want them to do turn down a chance of working with elvis he was very astute at choosing his friends and did not make friends easily I think you do not give credit to elvis at how smart he really was
Smart people pick friends that keep them in check, not yes men...This story has to be the ultimate paradox, his demise was pathetic especially with so many caring & loving people around him...
may they both RIP
He lived right below my boyfriend. I'll keep the comments to myself.
That picture was in '73? Wow, I never knew Elvis got that big by then. I thought his weight gain happened in 76 - 77.
No, it was taken in 1977 during his last vacation to Hawaii. They just got the date wrong.
The photo was in 1977. Ginger is in it.
RIP DR NICK.
History rips him everyday.
He died? Oh no what happened? 😭
He was more than just Elvis ‘ doctor .
DR. Nick's hair looks like silver cotton candy!
this is the very first time I ever herd this
I have seen a few times that the drugs did not kill him--that it was the twisted colon which led the pressure on his heart which killed him.
You see, by most of these comments there are people who still want to believe the worst of Elvis. not everyone who takes drugs dies from drugs!
Godspeed to you E.
No, they believe the facts. He lived a destructive lifestyle and abused drugs for years. You're delusional if you think that didn't contribute to his death.
True, 6,000 pills prescribed in 77 alone. Nick was up to his neck in debt, and Elvis bailed him out.
J Pep Screw you, you are the one who can't believe the facts from the news, so many hater's, do like the scarecrow in the wizard of Oz, ask for a heart & show some give a damn
Gerber Bernstein I suppose you were his accountant???
Not at 42? How many young actors have died from prescription drugs? Stop it. He was being prescribed an excessive amount of pills. The withdrawals alone would kill someone. You don't have to be a doctor or user to understand and see the facts. The actual prescription pads and how many pills he was prescribed.
I don't know why Dr. Nick said he tried to save Elvis when Joe Esposito said he was already dead when he went up to the bathroom!!!!!
When Joe tells that story today he is saying that now, but back then at that moment Joe did not say that. In fact Joe said to Dr. Nick when he arrived that he heard Elvis breathe when he turned Elvis' body over. So maybe thats why Dr. Nick worked on Elvis on the way to the hospital. But Dr. Nick should had known he was already dead, since rigor mortis had already set in. - and so should the doctors who worked on him for some 20 minutes, but it was probably because it was Elvis Presley. Had it been any other John Doe person they would had pronounced him dead at the scene.
You fell on the sword for elvis,thanks for your loyalty.thank you also nees screw well done.
Dr nick hair is still full ..
There’s another show about an autopsy review saying same.
Вот в чём врачебная ошибка ! По словам доктора Ника он мог бы спасти
Элвиса ,если бы знал ! Но ведь Элвис знал о мегаколон ! Почему его не
прооперировали!!!???Поздно обследовали , не правильно лечили !!!
Это касается и его других заболеваний ,а их было немало !
I would like to know what happened to Nick Adams.he played Johnny Reb on the Rebel. Thank you.

Get the date of the vacation right PLEASE: March 1977 with Ginger. Why no correction from the reporter???? So sloppy!!
OMG , i so want to believe everything Dr Nick said. sounds feasible , so many stories , so many lies guess we will never really know we weren't there
Gassbagger woods..yes, believe it...the Dr actually tried his damndest to help Elvis..so many rumors out there there are not true,DR. Nick was a good doctor no matter what the gossip mongers say. Read his book, The King and Dr. Nick..DR. Mick was balmed for things he did not do.Elvis cause of death was a heart attack,not drug overdose as many have stated.Elvis had so much worng with him,so many health problems..and a young woman with him that was sleeping instead of keeping an eye on him.
I think EVERYONE should read " Destined to die young" & DR Forrest Tennants (World renowned Neurologists, was present at all 4 of Elvis Autopsies, was the state hired Medical Expert for Dr Nichopoulos trial VS the Tennessee medical board & The State of Tennessee wrongful death trial. He is the only person who has has Elvis ENTIRE medical files from Birth to death, has written hundreds of medical articles in the New England Medical journal on Elvis, podcasts, blogs all with Dr Nick & was the Medical Expert also hired in Howard Hughes 1970's trial, and STILL practices medicine). Elvis had MAJOR health problems from birth. There is WAY more to that story. His mom, Grandma Doll & 6 of his 8 uncles all died in their 40's. Elvis suffered 4 traumatic brain injuries the last being in 1967. He tripped over a television cord in the bathroom and he was unconcious for over 8hrs before he was found! According to his medical records and everyone around him he was never the same. He suffered from massive migraines and developed glaucoma hence the shades you start seeing in 1969. It's what made his eyes water on stage so much. According to his autopsy findings a piece of his brain tissue was jarred loose passing thru his brain barrier. His body began attacking it like a foreign substance and lead to an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Then his body began to attack itself. In 1967 they had NO CLUE about Brain Injuries and just how they affect the body. They noted on his medical records at the time that he had 'post concussion syndrome'. By 1970 Elvis was having major problems with his memory , remembering lyrics and names, severe body aches & chronic pain. His joints and limbs, even his lower spine to the point he started using a cane. He wouldn't do Karate as much on stage and he started needing much stronger medications. By 1971 he was seeing 13 specialists trying to diagnose exactly what was causing so many ailments. They had NO MRI's or CT scans, only XRays!
He took perscriptions to deal with his Genetic health problems (now we know found at all 4 Autopsys), his enlarged paralyzed colon, Glaucoma, Antitrypsin Deficiency, a condition which can result in lung and/or liver disease both of which he had severely at the time of his death. Elvis was never a smoker or drinker. He had Together with the immune system disorder, hypogammaglobulinemia, which plagued Elvis all his life and caused him to constantly fight various infections. His “inherited” weak heart, reactive arthritis, and the impact of his nocturnal lifestyle, resulting in a lack of vitamin D, the effects of which contributed to respiratory infections, reduced immune function, and inflammation. He had Cytochrome disease a defect in his CYP2D6 gene that can convert Coedine into Morphine in the body. Which is why he developed Cushings Disease. He had spinal blocks in 1975 in his spine which caused Cushings. He stopped breathing and was placed into the hospital, his face, and Abdomen were huge and would never fully go down. The press was calling him fat, but he was so sick. Only a handful of people knew what really was going on. Dr Forrest Tennant a world leading Neurologists was given all Elvis medical files and was at all 4 autopsies. He represented Elvis Dr Nick Nichopoulos at his trial in the State of Tennessee & against the Medical Board. He was the specialists in Howard Hughes Medical Trial too. He had written a book on this, numerous blogs, medical journal contributions, and even a podcast. He is still practicing medicine and talks openly about how this lead EXACTLY to Elvis death. People are still repeating the same uneducated guesses that 4 autopsies have disproven and medical science keeps proving were wrong.

Yes picture from 77
he's not dead ?
Fox can't even spell prescription in the bar
If he did have that condition, why wasn't it found sooner? This condition should have been diagnosed before it became critical - they had x-rays etc in the 1970's, for heaven's sake! If anyone is as constipated as all that he says, boy it would have been obvious to a live-in doctor and nurse - crazy. A specialised toxicology lab did 2 drug screenings on the amount of drugs in his system and I believe their findings. Very sad.
A very good story, what's NOT GOOD ARE, these jerks I've read their comments and too many just trash talk the Dr & Elvis, do they think the same about Elvis Mother, she died the same age as Elvis from her bad health... Can't the hater's & people calling Elvis a drug addict see that? And some comments on why you say he died, where did you go to medical school??? Stop the gossip mill & believe what the Dr says, he sure knew way more than you arm chair critics... And the Rude things y'all said about Dr Nick looking like..... I'll not repeat it, have mercy, the man had just survived 2 strokes, can ya have some sympathy for a fine man or fine Men??? I sometimes can't believe the rudeness of people who throw words around in vindictive ways, do you have any human empathy or care for your fellow man???? God says to love one another, care for each other, I know we can all be crude at times, but, after that news story, come on, have a little love, these men still have family members living, can you imagine how those rude words hurt their loved ones, I guess y'all just don't care, you just love throwing stones. I pitty folks like y'all... No heart just down right mean as a snake
Gladys died at age 46...not 42
These drs are getting paid once money is in the mix well ethics goes right out of the window . Shame on Dr Nick
Love you all lifes getting so gourgouse
you have to read this book and make up your own mind dr nick was there to help him my comment from england
How about you read someone else's book instead of the book written by the guy who killed him to try to convince you he didn't
In the end both are to blame,one gave too many drugs ,one used money to get endless amounts

I believe Elvis did suffer from autonomic neuropathy . . but why wasn’t it addressed? Dr. Nick was his main supplier of drugs and yet we hear nothing of Elvis’ condition until after he dies.

Yea … meds had nothing to do with his death !!!!!!! 😂😂😂
"Dr. Feelgood".
Michel Bilodeau hi, that was a dentist in Vegas!
Elvis had rigor mortis how can you battle to save someone one
Hey, wether he killed him or not. He had to live with the label of being arrested for the rest of his life.
He deserved it, he over medicated him and treated him a friend not a patient.
I talked with Dr.Nick myself, personally. It is wrong to accuse him of being solely responsible for Elvis' "death". It's important to remember that Elvis had more than one Doctor. I believe Dr.Nick to be a genuinely sincere man who in fact had Elvis' best interest at heart. Does one not even consider the fact that since Dr.Nick gave him placebos and after Elvis found out about that, that Elvis then went to his other Doctors and get the real drugs instead? It's fascinating how people falsely accuse and judge someone and something they don't even know anything about, but only believe what others and the media make them out to be! And some of you that are making hateful remarks about Dr. Nick's appearance, he was suffering from heart problems and like most patients with heart problems, estrogenic drugs are prescribed to treat it. Get educated, quit judging people you know nothing about, but most importantly.......STOP HATING!!!
+Peterthepiper My oh my, such hate for someone YOU don't even know. How pathetic can YOU be!?! All some of you people out there believe in are things that someone else said and you base your "knowledge" on their lack of understanding and their own personal assumptions of how someone is or is not. Just make the person out to the way YOU want them to be. It speaks volumes about the ones who JUDGED someone they don't even know. Don't hate, it will only ruin YOU...........
I know him a lot better than YOU and you my friend, don't even know me so therefore, again, don't try to make someone out to be the way YOU think they should be . Now, why would anyone admit to something if they have done no wrong. That would be like me accusing you of something you didn't do and demanding that you fess up to it just because I want to "hear" you admit to it. Sounds insane, doesn't it. But that is exactly what you are demanding from OJ and Dr. Nick! Let the first one without sin cast the first stone. Your far worse with your mindset than what your accusing these two men of. You really should be ashamed................DEAR :)
+Peterthepiper Pardon me ma'am, but no, OJ didn't kill his wife either just because you heard he did. I'm sure your enquiring mind should know this by now, but I digress!😂 Have a good day lady, now go and gossip with the rest of your lady friends😂
Your funny! :) :) :)
SolarReturn I agree with you. I realized that drugs can kill everyone but I found out strong drugs is the killer
Anyone know what year this interview took place?
Ken Gardner no, but, it's brought out some bad heartless people
Yes, it said Fox News 2016
2013
There is no way dr nick killed elvis why would he kill the person who was supplying his income plus elvis could get what he wanted from other doctors
you have a point there
@@gassbaggerwoods5955 He did over supply though.Those drugs shut Elvis body down though.He would have been better off if he stayed in those movie contracts where they had some control over the intake.
God rest his soul. I feel for. Elvis. It's hard to believe anything somebody says. They are trying to cover up for theirself. Dr. Nick did prescribe. Elvis a lot of medication. Still that don't mean that is what killed. Elvis. There has been so many stories told. You don't know who to believe. Everything seems to be a cover up so they wouldn't be blamed for. Elvis's death. This is one thing we will never get an answer to. All. I can say is let. Elvis rest in. Peace. He has been through enough in his life time Let him rest now in peace with God our. Savior. He had. Always dreamed of meeting God and he is home now. Rest in peace. Elvis. You deserve it all ALWAYS WILL BE Remembered. No one will ever take your place. Elvis you will always be #1. Love you forev er and always. Miss you so much 💗
@@charzardtheking8407 Dr Nick didn't kill Elvis there is evidence of people close to Elvis actually trying to curb the drugs.Dr Nick was one of them though he did prescribe large amounts to Elvis they were also for Elvis entourage according to Charlie Hodge used it as a tax write off. Like Billy Smith said when Elvis wanted his pills he was going to get them somewhere.
I believe him
Jerry Lee Lewis was a great talent just as great as Elvis
😂
He killed Elvis by saying yes bud.
WRONG. I think EVERYONE should read " Destined to die young" & DR Forrest Tennants (World renowned Neurologists, was present at all 4 of Elvis Autopsies, was the state hired Medical Expert for Dr Nichopoulos trial VS the Tennessee medical board & The State of Tennessee wrongful death trial. He is the only person who has has Elvis ENTIRE medical files from Birth to death, has written hundreds of medical articles in the New England Medical journal on Elvis, podcasts, blogs all with Dr Nick & was the Medical Expert also hired in Howard Hughes 1970's trial, and STILL practices medicine). Elvis had MAJOR health problems from birth. There is WAY more to that story. His mom, Grandma Doll & 6 of his 8 uncles all died in their 40's. Elvis suffered 4 traumatic brain injuries the last being in 1967. He tripped over a television cord in the bathroom and he was unconcious for over 8hrs before he was found! According to his medical records and everyone around him he was never the same. He suffered from massive migraines and developed glaucoma hence the shades you start seeing in 1969. It's what made his eyes water on stage so much. According to his autopsy findings a piece of his brain tissue was jarred loose passing thru his brain barrier. His body began attacking it like a foreign substance and lead to an Autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Then his body began to attack itself. In 1967 they had NO CLUE about Brain Injuries and just how they affect the body. They noted on his medical records at the time that he had 'post concussion syndrome'. By 1970 Elvis was having major problems with his memory , remembering lyrics and names, severe body aches & chronic pain. His joints and limbs, even his lower spine to the point he started using a cane. He wouldn't do Karate as much on stage and he started needing much stronger medications. By 1971 he was seeing 13 specialists trying to diagnose exactly what was causing so many ailments. They had NO MRI's or CT scans, only XRays!
He took perscriptions to deal with his Genetic health problems (now we know found at all 4 Autopsys), his enlarged paralyzed colon, Glaucoma, Antitrypsin Deficiency, a condition which can result in lung and/or liver disease both of which he had severely at the time of his death. Elvis was never a smoker or drinker. He had Together with the immune system disorder, hypogammaglobulinemia, which plagued Elvis all his life and caused him to constantly fight various infections. His “inherited” weak heart, reactive arthritis, and the impact of his nocturnal lifestyle, resulting in a lack of vitamin D, the effects of which contributed to respiratory infections, reduced immune function, and inflammation. He had Cytochrome disease a defect in his CYP2D6 gene that can convert Coedine into Morphine in the body. Which is why he developed Cushings Disease. He had spinal blocks in 1975 in his spine which caused Cushings. He stopped breathing and was placed into the hospital, his face, and Abdomen were huge and would never fully go down. The press was calling him fat, but he was so sick. Only a handful of people knew what really was going on.

Dr. Kick looks like an old woman in this video.
That photo was taken in Hawaii in his final vacation in 1977 in which Elvis and Dr Nick are shown not 1973 make your facts right
lennonscat I wondered if I was the only one who thought Dr. Nick looked strangely like an elderly woman in his last years!
@@DianeHughes45 Yes, he did--he had truly aged so much since is last 1983 intervew
Dr Nick is still attempting to defend himself. Sorry folks … Dr Nick was just another name on his list of enablers .
He was not guilty of Elvis passing, I love Elvis but he was a drug addicted he self destruct
I take exception to this comment why dont you read destined to die young and you will change your opinion .
Dr Nick loved Elvis, but he is full of phooey!!!
DR. JYKLLE SHOULD BE IN PRISON FOR OVER PRESCRIBING BUT ELVIS SHOULD HAVE TAKEN BETTER CONTROL OF HIS OWN LIFE GOD BLESS HIM !!!!!
By saying that, you obviously didn't pay attention to what this film said. You should watch it again. The virus that causes mega colon is what killed Elvis. Read my reply above under Ray Dickens.
I still think he is ALIVE, lol
Unless you mean in spirit, you need help.
Don't get out much?
Gussy Gatlin sure MJ also is alive and fighting with Elvis and they asking them self who is the King of what????
Killer to the King
Poor DR. Nick..his life was ruined because of bs by others..He teied his best to help Elvis..
This man is a monster and that’s how history will remember him..
100% TRUTH!! Glad to see someone who can think clearly! Thank you!
I suggest you READ Dr Forrest Tennants Autopsies all 4 & THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS SEEN ELVIS MEDICAL RECORDS FROM BIRTH, ARMY, VEGAS & DEATH. READ HOS FULL AUTOPSY ONLINE.

Dr. Nick......?
Is he the one they call Dr. Feelgood?
Is he the one that makes you feel alright? Just kidding.
Painkillers make you constipated. Years of painkillers give you a compacted colon.
Am I right ?
@@fenderman065 He had a twisted colon with became impacted then
He's not dead
In my opinion, Elvis died because of medical negligence by this quack and the doctors who treated him at the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis. They knew the condition of his internal organs, yet they still signed him off as fit and well to do another tour. Elvis should have been in hospital getting life saving treatment.
Jacqueline X.
Exactly, now that i hear & really listen to many videos/reports, ect, after being checked by Doctors/nurses, WHY was Elvis always allowed to even leave the hospitals, i mean, come on!!
Dr.Nick. He.Had to Know that Elvis was Getting Prescriptions in His.Body Guards Names . They admitted to it and they even said that they hated Flying around getting scripts for him., Come on.
Elvis was paying Dr
Nick 800 Dollars a Day and the Firm He Belonged Too 1800 Dollars a Day. Are you Fuckn Kidding
Dr. Nick Looks like Somebody's Grandmother WOW
It said he died if drugs that caused his heart to stop
If he is dead he didn't die of s bad heart he died of drugs
He is was to.young to have heart disease .
How come they didn't discuss Dr. Nick getting his license pulled for overprescribing famous patients ?
Gerber Bernstein listen to the news story again, they did
And after a trial, he was acquitted (innocent)
First time I have ever heard there were two autopsy's done this is bull there was only one!
two autopsy reports not two autopsy's.
Larry Blong I never heard of an autopsy two pages long. they have all been programmed a paid to lie.
Elvis 4 Dee There were two autopsies/reports, Vernon commissioned the second one. It’s private and sealed until 2027. If one pays personally and not the state, it can be kept private.
Only one autopsy However The case was reopen in 1994 but they only looked at the lab test and the autopsy report.
The autopsy that was performed in 1977 was authorized by Vernon Presley. So the report will never be made public as state law prohibiting disclosure of private patient records. Its The death certificate that will become a public record after 50 years from the date of his death
@@no288 I have to disagree with you on this one my friend.....
It is the LAW that if ANY person is found deceased and they were alone, an autopsy MUST be done.
Elvis was found alone and deceased so Elvis was getting an autopsy with or without anyone's permission.....
no this was March 77 this photo get facts right
Janice Leighton not sure that is the fact, it's just a photo used for the story, Elvis didn't look like that in 77 and the trial wasn't right away
Dr. Nick likes to re-write history for those that believe anything.
Gerber Bernstein He didn't change any facts at all.

I cant figure out why so many different reasons have been given for his death. I'm sure most of you recall the Charlie Hodge interview video, when Charlie said Elvis's bones were ravaged with cancer, that had spread all over his body, and that was what killed him. It's all still too fishy.
Bryan Wayne 'cus sometimes the cause of death is complicated. And Elvis was one of them .However there was no bone cancer. The docors who did the autopsy found no proof of that.- Take care
One can barely understand what he says...his face looks so different, seems as he's a different person. Elvis was the stubborn one, he should have listened to his doctor/-s, the thing is he thought he knew better than them, because he read a few medical books...
