I am sad that Elvis suffered so much with health issues during his Lifetime. I am also grateful that he was born and that he used so much of his life making people happy through his music and his humanity. Thank you Elvis for giving us all you had for as long as you could. You will be remembered and loved always. Rest in Peace sweet man...
I think that Dr. Nick cared for Elvis to the best of his ability. I think he tried to keep the bad medications away from Elvis. Elvis told him he was sharing them with the guys and he was. Like Dr. Nick said at the trial he didn't want Elvis getting stuff off of the streets. Elvis had health problems that weren't talked about or studied about in the 70's. Thank you Trey. Elvis fans need to see this.
I love Elvis. I just wish he took more control of his health and got the help he needed. I also would have liked to seen him take more control of his career. Good video Trey thank you.
Science has come a long way since the 70s. Elvis might have gotten better if he had the proper diagnosis and the right kind of doctor. I'm not disrespecting Dr. Nick, I just meant a gastroenterologist would have been able to treat his colon problem's better. It took 6 month's for the gastroenterologist to diagnose my daughter when she came down with Crohn's disease. Myself and another daughter were diagnosed with the same condition, it's hard to diagnose and not easy to treat. Elvis would've needed a break and a lot of test's to find the cause of his condition.
@@sandramaggard2962 Elvis was hospitalized. A gastroenterologist saw him. Elvis did not want to wear a colostimy bag. Surgery could have meant sure death..no successful outcome guaranteed
@@margarettaylor8107 How sad my daughter got an ileostomy when she was 17 she has Crohn's disease. I've got 2 daughters who have it but her's was critical. The doctor told me she wouldn't live past 30 she's going to be 49 December 8th so she has been really blessed she's been through a lot but I'm very happy she got to have a life. She had 2 children another 2 miracles I know the pain I've got it too but not like her. She was diagnosed at age 7, it's been a long road but we have made it through. I knew Elvis was not well I couldn't understand why others couldn't see it.
@@sandramaggard2962 He had multiple incurable conditions..some were manageable . He had a colon 4x normal, a twisted colon, and a spastic colon and had paralysis of the colon. Painful? You and your daughter know. It is thought he had a virus that caused the paralysis. He suffered immensely. He knew it would kill him eventually. He needed pain meds..could not function with pain and without them. Dr Nick often just gave him placebos..that did not control his pain so he sought out other doctors. And Dr Nick has said Elvis was not addicted. Ginger Alden said that too.I could explain if necessary. He was never fat..bloated which he lost with a good colon movement. And people made fun of his weight.I am sure that hurt him. The Stanley brothers would take bets seeing who could get closest to the date he would die. So many Judases around him.Dr. Nick was not one. He was a friend.
The guys All said(including cousin Billy) that when Dr. Nick was around Elvis was in much better health. Dr Nick got a bad rap. It was the other Drs that were giving him the drugs. He knew Dr Nick wouldn't and he even fired him a couple of times like the others. But Dr Nick told him he didn't work for him. Lol I can't believe how sharp his mind is after having a stroke. We did have a problem understanding him sometimes, so thank you Trey for putting his words up! You are so lucky to have known him! I bet you heard alot of Elvis stories. Dr Nick did the best he could for Elvis and truly loved him.
DR. Nick wrote narcotic Rx.for Elvis. There is evidence of that. And a lot. Way more than is healthy for any human. Every state has a central database, where it keeps track of narcotic Rx. Exactly which doctors are writing which Rx and for who. Now they do it by computer, where in the old days they did it by paper. Also in the old days they had to investigate each pharmacy- whereas now it ( all the data, Rx ) is all kept in a central database
You can really see the love he had for Elvis in his eyes and everyone's eyes on that stage. Thanks Trey for another great video of the truth. Dr. Nice had a great sense of humor.
Thank you for sharing this. Watching in 2021. I had heard of the doc in Vegas. Sad to think it was a colon disorder. Glad you're out there setting the record straight for Dr. Nick. I'm sure he did his best to help Elvis
What a great video things I never new, been a Elvis fan and seen him in concert in Cincinnati OH when I was a kid I remember my mom crying at the show , keep them coming 👍👍
Remember when you were a kid and kids would play the passing out game ? I remember kids squatting down and taking 10 deep breaths and they would stand up . Then someone else would press on their chest until they passed out . I remember my cousin doing that down in her basement and she fell on her dad's pool table and knock her tooth out . I thought no way !! It scared me half to death . This sounds like what Dr. Nick is talking about ( slowing down your heart ) . It makes a lot of sense how that could happen . I remember Dr. Nick explaining this in another video about Elvis being so constipated . He said , Elvis' colon was like cement when they done Elvis' autopsy . I guess Dr. Nick tried his best to help Elvis . I don't know how Elvis wasn't doubled over in pain though ? I don't know how he stood it ? That had to have been miserable . So sad . I'm glad Dr. Nick was honest about what happened though . You can tell he really did care about Elvis . Thanks Trey for sharing this video with us .
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey , yeah from the stories I've heard it sounded like he was just give out . I wish I could change it just like the rest of his family, friends, and fans . It's so sad . No doubt that he was loved though .
Elvis presley was used by everyone around him including his doctors Elvis Presley was a very emotional humble God loving man who loved to sing a make people happy
Sandra Miller I do agree with you on every issue that you have ever commented. On about our mr songman. I loved elvis. So so so so much. Because of his God loving soul. He loved his lord so much. He would have made such a great evangelist. A bellsheep is what he would have been. He showed so much love. And this whole big of people love him. He thanked and praised God thru his gospel song at every concert. No other does that. GOD blessed and loved elvis. So so so much. And he did prosper but he shared what he had. And donated like no other. Never ever will there ever be another. He has my heart and always will. I feel so connected to him. On a Godly basis. I know you. Understand what I mean. Sandra. Miller. Be safe. God bless you. TCB TCB
@@vickiatkins9061 Elvis was my bell sheep I had all of his gospel album's when I was a teenager and I still love Elvis's gospel music and enjoy almost daily. When he sing's gospel you can definitely feel the presence of the Lord.
Vernon should have done something by sooner - he is the only one that could have legally done anything. When you see your child on a downward spiral headed towards disaster - you need to take action - end of story. If he had EP committed for substance abuse , perhaps he’s still he with us ? God knows. 🤷♀️
I can see Dr. Nick's true friendship and love and care and integrity for Elvis and people in his eyes, in his persona. I would almost say aura. I believe him.
Thank you for coming to the defense of Dr. Nick. I had the pleasure of meeting him once & have read his book. I personally feel he was hounded by Geraldo Rivera & the media. Fans were distraught by the death of Elvis & wanted SOMEONE to take the blame for his dying at such an early age. Dr. Nick was made into a scapegoat to appease the multitudes.
Dr.Nick was hounded by Rivera and that led to him becoming the evil doctor in the Elvis world. the media created it! Dr.Nick loved Elvis and Elvis loved Dr.Nick
The medical board did a sound. Investigation. Dr. Nick over prescribed pills that There was no medical reason to justify Elvis needing these pills. Narcotics cause and worsen constipation. Doctors treat addiction, don't feed addiction. Dr. Nick fed Elvis addiction, sadly. What if every doctor did this?
@@bonnichasteen6424 the type of narcotics and the amount he was given aren't even given to terminal cancer patients dying from the most severe pain....educate yourself please Bonni....
Thank you Trey. I had never heard it described how Dr. Nick did in this video and now it all makes sense. Because as someone who has been prescribed pain medication for over a decade due to by back I know all to well the side effects and the constipation that occurs and to think that Elvis was dealing with that and the Colon issues at once just cleared up everything for me. Every Elvis fan needs to see this video.
Thanks for sharing Robert, yes maybe people with similar experiences like you will now put Elvis in a human situation. Unfortunately, Elvis had these health issues the last part of his life and I strongly feel it led to him hitting the road on us. He was over worked as well on tours! He needed rest!
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey He most definitely needed rest! I can't imagine anyone in perfect health doing 2 or 3 shows a day like he did sometimes and especially as much as he put into his shows. I really wish he took the time needed to get all that stuff took care of so he could have been around longer but it just wasnt to be. I was born in Sept of 79 but because his movies and concerts were on tv all the time growing up I didn't find out he wasn't still alive until I was around 7 or 8 when my dad finally told me he had died in 77 before I was born. I was asking him if we could go see a concert one night when I it was Aloha was on tv and that's when my dad told me the story about how he died and even a personal story of his that he and my mom had plans to go to what ended up being his last concert in indy but dad wasnt able to get off work. Well they saw Elvis was coming here to Louisville on the next tour in August of 77 so they said well just get tickets then and go here so they didn't have to drive to Indy or risk getting in trouble at work. Ofcourse we all know that August tour didn't happen and my dad regrets to this day not taking off work anyway and going to Indianapolis to see Elvis because he never got to see him live either. Just goes to show how much Elvis meant to and still means to us fans. There will never be anyone else like him.
I believe he tried his best and got caught up in a bad situation. He was a good guy to me and I hate his name will be forever known in history as the doctor..
I do love Trey's and Spa Guy's videos. I just can't help but feel with this particular video Dr. Nick and GK are trying very hard to absolve themselves of any blame......True only Elvis could have helped Elvis.....I believe Elvis probably had severe anxiety and tried to self medicate...and it spiraled out of control....I just find it difficult to understand how a medical professional justifies prescribing thousands upon thousands of pills to someone who obviously has no control over their addiction anymore....where is the sound judgement that a doctor needs in this case ?
VAL (SOUTH AFRICA) THANKS TREY FOR ANOTHER GOOD ONE. I AM TRYING TO GO THOUGH ALL YOUR VIDEOS TO CATCH UP AND REALLY ENJOY THEM ALL SO FAR. SHAME, I FELT SO SORRY FOR DR NICK, HE LOOKED REALLY FRAIL AND OLD. I ALSO WANT TO BELIEVE THAT HE DID HIS LEVEL BEST FOR OUT EP. PS I LOVE YOUR GUITAR MUSIC!!!!!! WITH LOTS OF GOOD WISHES FROM SA - VAL
Thank you Trey, it’s so good to hear honesty although graphic & sad to hear is the hard truth. I always thought that Elvis’ trouble with his colon, his bloating & constipation was a result of the drugs messing up his digestive system. The constipation factor & his discomfort & pushing to relieve himself obviously strained his heart 💔 & caused a heart attack. So very sad 😔
It’s sad, but it also shows Elvis was a human being and he had health issues the last few years and people don’t understand that aspect of the situation.
I may be a year late commenting on this video but I’m going back and watching them all. I think I’ve already said - you, spa guy and the smiths MMK are the greatest. At 62 I’m just now a true Elvis fan due to running across a video from spa guy. Thank you sharing the history. Thank you so much Ruby from NC
Hey Trey, I never comment on videos, not even on Spa Guy's...lol....I don't know when or if you will get this reply or if you go back to check on your videos that are over a week old...but I just had to say, I cannot stop thinking about this particular video of yours. I mean it is awesome....but it's more than that....it is beyond awesome!! I had heard about Elvis's constipation problem before and autopsy...(on the Reelz channel Autopsy, they backed up everything Dr Nick stated)....but my FAVORITE part of the whole video (in addition to Dr Nick's sincere words and the look on his eyes) was your commentary at the end...the look in your own eyes as you spoke of your friendship and your experience with Dr. Nick...you were very sincere and honest....it almost made me cry. You were genuine and it was touching and totally believable. I think maybe the whole or part of the Elvis mystique or whatever you want to call it was how Elvis passed so young, and all the press about how lots of people seemed to take advantage of Elvis for their own gain, and no one could seem to help Elvis from self destruction when Elvis seemed to have it all....it's just sad at the end. But your video puts down the whole idea of suicide or that Elvis knew what he was doing it that he accidentally took too much medication. Your video definitely brings out the human side of Elvis....and that is touching and amazing. Beyond awesome job Trey!! Sincerely.
Enjoyed that funny and sad at the same time. I can understand if you take to meny tablets it can do that to your body. I take Prescription pills and I only take the amount I'm supposed to. but sometimes even than I can't go to the toilet. So I can understand if Elvis was taking alot more tablets than he should it would do that, and don't forget Elvis had a twisted colon too . Very sad. Thanks Trey.
yea i listened to this interview , and i think dr nick did love him tried to help him , i laughed when he left the bottle and elvis said , yea i took them thought had i taken them all i would get better quicker , elvis was innocent naive to a lot of things , not saying he was stupid , far from it ,he was very inteligent read up a lot on meds but you know wat i mean he was like this young innocent not a bad bone in his body trusted everyone and wat they told him , he learned a lot from thoes medicine books , and i know he was suffering and would have done anything to got rid of that mass in his gut , my god we all never knew til it became public how bad elvis was how he must have suffered and thoe months leading up , but he still pushed thru kept to his shows gave his all my heart breaks for him
Thank you Tray for the video. Just goes to show ya our guy had real problems too. I’m so glad he had dr nick on his side I know he helped him a lot. Thank you dr nick. You probably saved his life a few times. I’m just so sad his heart wasn’t doing so good, but he got that from his momma. And those so called other people ( I won’t even call them drs) were just out for the money. They made our Elvis Presley sick. Elvis just did what he had too do. TCB. I love Everything about our guy and just so glad we had this wonderful beautiful amazing man as long as we did. 😇🕺🏻😎⚡️🥰🤗❤️ Always and forever.
I’ve never blamed Dr Nick for Elvis’s death, the only person to blame for it is Elvis himself! I love Elvis but he was a fool to himself and I truly believe he needed a good shake and someone to say ‘wake up man, you’re killing yourself’ and I think as a last effort that’s what Red, Sonny and Dave tried to do with there book. Good video Trey 👍
Dr Nick is partly to blame because he provided the weapon for Elvis to kill himself. Any medical doctor that actually cares for his patients would never prescribe the variety and amount of deadly narcotics that Dr Nick prescribed Elvis. The prescription records are public and you can see what Nick prescribed to Elvis on Aug 15, 1977 (the day before Elvis died) and the amounts are mind boggling. He wrote Elvis pain pills, sleeping pills, nerve pills, and even a drug only used by patients in stage 4 cancer. He even wrote him liquid drugs for use by injection. Dr. Nick was a quack!
@@devinw5150 very tru... Doctor Nick even wrote the last prescription for Elvis for Dilaudid. He got the Codeine from his dentist and the morphine from Doctor Nick, why would he need all that stuff ???
@@minkahed6724 Because he was suffering from genetic and chronic conditions that not even DR NICK could work out, as testified by his nurse. Read the book Destined to D#e young, if you want the full story.
I believe Dr. Nick did his best to see that Elvis took only as much medication as he was supposed to. It was out of Dr. Nick's control that the other doctors were giving Elvis more medication without Dr. Nick's knowledge. Rest in peace Dr. Nick. P.S. My doctor who I was a patient of from the day I was born until he retired was an Elvis fan and he had Elvis pictures and Gold record replicas in his exam rooms. Elvis has been a part of my life for the majority of my life.
What Dr Nick is talking about is absolutely true. After pushing and straining people with underlying medical issues like high blood pressure can suffer a heart attack. I’ve been an advanced practice nurse & I know opiates and some other drugs Elvis was dependent on will cause constipation. Elvis was on a huge amount of opiates for a long time so his tolerance was high Dr Nick knows opiates and benzodiazepines were a contributory factor in Elvis’s early demise but is saving face to an extent. Elvis was quite intelligent and well versed regarding the drugs he took but addiction is a gripping, very real hell. Patients stay on the drugs fearing withdrawal. Valsalva maneuver caused his death but polypharmacy was contributory.
You're right! It was a combination of both, sadly. I sure wish today's restrictions on medications were around back then. Hindsight is 20/20. Sure do miss Elvis!
Really? Well guess what. Here's the proof that Elvis the Man did not die, just the "image." In the link at the end of all the photos, click on the "comments" and read the description of each photo. photos.app.goo.gl/TEGYiVwdGdtcR2Pn8
@@CG-tm4lqRubbish Stop being silly and grow up. All this is getting very boring now. It's alright watching pastor Bake on utube. Why don't you go to his church and see Bob for real if you're so confident that he is Elvis.
Thank you for sharing. Please send more more more. This was a Presley puzzle piece to add to my big puzzle. Thank you again. Be safe and God bless. TCB
Thank you Trey. That was a good story and your writing at the bottom helped me allot because my hearing aids causes me issues hearing in a room that has a echo. God bless you Trey. That’s the first time I had heard thst story by Dr Nick. I’m not sure how I missed that before.
My understanding is that they didn’t realize it until after the autopsy. Doctors did not have the technology of today in the 70s of course and that hurt Elvis.
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey thankyou sir . May I say your doing a great job on UA-cam, you are a great credit to elvis Presley and the people who worked around, thanks again. Looking forward to more video's.
Gosh Trey .... I really got choked up on this video 😓Dr . Nick was a super guy and doctor! I’m so glad you and Dr. were friends! I loved him for telling this story and with such heart ! Plus funny too . I’m glad the truth is out and May Dr. Nick RIP !! I really appreciate this video Trey 🤝👍🏼🙌🏼THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊
It’s important for me to make sure the real Dr.Nick is out there for fans to discover and not the fake news that the media created in 1977 to blame him for Elvis’ passing . That was unfair and not great investigation on Geraldo Rivera and his team!
Elvis was told he needed surgery on his colon.He turned it down because the doctors told Elvis that they would have to remove part of his colon and he would have to wear a bag afterwards. Elvis said no because he couldn’t wear a bag and perform in concerts for his fans. Dr. Nick built a huge house in Memphis, lived their I guess until he died. The house was so large the bank wouldn’t lend him all the money he needed to build it so Dr. Nick went to Elvis and borrowed I think it was $250,000.00. Elvis gave it to him. Don’t know if Dr. Nick ever paid Elvis back. Dr. Nick did what he could for Elvis, which was great but Elvis did so much for Dr. Nick. Hired his son, Nick. Bought cars for them, Took Dr. Nick, wife and son on vacations with him. Bought jewelry for all of the family. Paid all expenses on out of town tours and shows, Dr. Nick and his wife many times. They had a wonderful friendship. Elvis was never going to let his fans down that is why he kept pushing himself. That and his Ex-Wife, Priscilla, taking him to court after their divorce at two or three times getting millions from Elvis to keep her lavish lifestyle up in Hollywood. Elvis paid it to her because he loved his precious daughter, Lisa Marie. Priscilla is the one that nearly broke him. Now that Lisa Marie has left us, Priscilla is fighting the will of Lisa Marie to keep Lisa’s daughters from getting Graceland and everything connected to it. We fans need to pray that Priscilla or Michael Lockwood DOES NOT get by with this protest of Lisa Marie’s will. Elvis and Lisa Marie loved Graceland so much. It was their safe haven. Vernon and Gladys, and Minnie Mae are buried there along with Elvis, Lisa Marie and her son Benjamin. They are all Presley Blood . Miss Priscilla Ann Wagner Beaulieu is not. When Priscilla left Elvis she went to California to Mike Stone and her many other guys, having an illegitimate son by one. Elvis told after the divorce to never use the PRESLEY name for anything. Soon after Elvis died she started using the PRESLEY name for $$$$$$$$$ and has been using it for over 55 years. Time to pass it to Elvis’s granddaughters and greatgranddaughter. Priscilla has made millions of dollars off of Elvis and his daughter, Lisa Marie. Elvis left NOTHING to Priscill Ann Wagner Beaulieu in his will. When Vernon and Minnie Mae died it was all left to Lisa Marie.
Thank you for posting this. I’ve never seen it. I think Elvis would have been around longer had it not been for Dr G in Vegas and the one in LA. The guys, Linda, and Priscilla knew it too.
They know much more about the effects of opiates overdoses now and long term use, which does cause severe constipation, and also arrhythmia if too high of doses, especially fentanyl
Dr Nick was like family to Elvis, with modern technology like cat scans etc they could have probably detected the colon blockage, having had experience with prescription drug addiction myself it is common for painkiller type drugs to cause constipation and generally drying up you're crap, it would not be unusual for that to lead to the colon problem, I often say it's not important how Elvis died but that he lived, to think his mother endured a stillborn birth to then give birth to the number 1 entertainer of all time is up there with the miracle of the birth of Jesus, his mother was the Virgin Mary, Elvis was here for 42 years but his legacy will outlast us all.
Dr. Nick was doing all that he could and then some. I have full faith he wanted the best for Elvis and pardon the expression but shit happens. You can’t fix the world or a great person such as Elvis. Sometimes things just happen to good people in every aspect.
Change of diet, exercise, increased water and fiber would have made a difference, it’s sad Elvis didn’t have a dietician on his staff. Dr nick must have known that constipation poisons the body, I’m just surprised enemas , laxatives and dietary changes for Elvis were not more focused on during that time. Most doctors want to push pills.
Laxatives are a pill and after a while the body cannot do the job on its own. He did use laxatives a lot. After all these years and all we know pills are still the choice of doctors to "manage" versus actually cure anything.
agreed, guessing it was a time when a lot of things we have today were not around then , quite right elvis should have had a dietician , he had so many work for him dentist , doctor , his diet was atrocious that did contribute to his death
Thanks, Trey. Been so many talk crap without knowing pertinent facts, and so much crap reported it’s sinful. Now, the loss of LMP’s son Benjamin. She needs the simple courtesy of respect, and 🙏🏼.
Thanks for watching man. Dr.Nick definitely did not kill Elvis, he loved the guy.. they all were just living a life in the 70s but they cared for Elvis. Elvis was not the healthiest person as well and his schedule was not great those later years. Many things contributed to his decline
New subscriber here! Ty for sharing. As a youngster, I wanted Dr. Nick punished (my love for Elvis began at 11 years old lol), but I erroneously thought the Dr was the bad guy back then. Now, I know better of course. He was a caring kind man...
Glad you found me Marie.. Dr. Nick took the worst fall of everyone and he was the doctor that actually kept Elvis normal.. most guys tell you that if dr nick was not around is when Elvis was not Elvis.. when he was around Dr nick could keep him from doing stuff he shouldn’t do… unfortunately the new movie shows dr nick giving him anything.. those doctors really existed but they were out west.
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey yes I've since discovered these other "doctors" and seems to me that it was a conspiracy to pin it on Dr. Nick (a country TN doc). Bc those other doctors had many high-profile clients. Anyway, ty again!
Good to hear from Dr Nick thanks for sharing Trey. I know you knew him and I don't doubt Dr Nick cared about Elvis. Elvis would never have hired him for all those years if he wasn't a good man. The only time they fell out as I understand it was in 1976 over the Raquetball saga. When they parted company Elvis got in another doctor who nearly killed him a year before he died. If you listen to Houston We Have A Problem you can hear the worst concert Elvis ever did he was clearly out of it. The Colonel actually got Dr Nick back to sort of the problems with this other doctor and Elvis got it back towards the end of the year. Dr Nick did overprescibe for Elvis but I think the internal damage had already been done by these other doctors. One thing that's alway puzzled me though is why Dr Nick pumped out the contents of Elvis stomach before the autopsy. If there was nothing to hide why do that. And why did he only come up with this theory about how Elvis died all these years later. Somethings don't add up but I don't hate Dr Nick he was in a position where if he didn't give the pills then Elvis would get someone in who did..and when he did that before they gave him more destructive medication that Nick gave so he was in a no win situation as was Elvis. Sadly.
Trey I'm curious how you got this footage. It seems like it was shot at the University during an Elvis week. Can you give details? I never saw any footage of Dr. Nick as he actually described the cause of Elvis' death. Remarkable!

Great vlog!!!! Dr. Nick I have always felt was not treated fairly. Elvis had many doctors all over the United States.😟😭. Who was Elvis' doctor prior to Dr. Nick?
The amount of prescriptions written out by this doctor was insane. While he wasn't responsible for Elvis choices he was responsible for being a willing contributor. Trying to control what he took came a little too late in the game. As a physician he was either highly incompetent or just too caught up in the lifestyle keeping Elvis happy afforded him. The physician oath is first do no harm. So much for that. Him being "nice" doesn't cancel out the amount of drugs he prescribed like candy.
Agree completely. All these comments about “aww poor doctor Nick and poor Elvis” I’m a gigantic Elvis fan but the man was a straight up drug addict plain and simple. This man willingly gave him these prescriptions and by the boat load. Demerol and dilaudid are taken by people that are pretty much dying and Elvis had a ton of it prescribed by this man. Perhaps he had colon issues, fine ok, but taking massive amounts of opiates and downers certainly didn’t help the issue any bit especially with constipation being one of the main side effects. This man wasn’t a saint and he wasn’t wrongfully accused. Just an easy look online will show what this man prescribed Elvis before his last tour.Elvis wasn’t a saint, he was a grown ass man that made his own decisions. Nobody could have helped him except himself.
@@markus5862 Absolutely. I was 14 when he died and they aired that horrible last filmed concert. Even at that age I said he's not fat, he's filled with fluid. I had seen that in my grandmother all my life with her ongoing congestive heart failures , high blood pressure and heart attacks. One of the organizers for a British fan club was in a row very close to the stage at one of his last concerts. He said he could see that Elvis was clearly jaundiced. How did the doctor not see this? He was a money making machine injected and filled up to keep him going and pacified. Nicopolous was accused of overprescrping others including his own daughter. His manager also had the power to act in his behalf and not book concerts due to the shape he was in. Most people who are that addicted cannot act in their own best interest, no one else in my opinion who could have did anything either. You may not have the power to stop someone but out real concern you do not contribute to it.
Hi Trey, Thanks for sharing this video today, and your personal thoughts on Dr Nick. There's lots of ways too look at Elvis' demise, it's awful too say ,but doctors if knowing he had a almost complete bowel blockage, knew surgery might have helped or corrected this problem chose too do nothing, on grounds that this is Elvis Presley, and if he dies under the knife (surgery) we'll be held accountable, but they sure we're not hindered in over prescribing pills too him, which contributed too his early death, along with poor diet, and other health problems, and all the touring which probably contributed too, it just seems like a double standard. Surgery, maybe could have corrected his colon problem, but drugs were prescribed instead? I think for us too look at his death now, and try too equate answers too why this happened, it's hard too see for some, because we weren't there, too personally see Elvis in his private time away from the cameras, and too seek answers from the doctors who saw Elvis, because most are dead now too, one Doctor is no better or worse than the other, because they all in one since or the other failed Elvis, by neglecting him as a person instead of seeing him as their meal ticket, and avoiding his physical problems, because no surgery too correct his problems were offered, just pills prescribed, there was no Betty Ford's clinic's too help at the time, too curb his addiction, and who could say No too Elvis Presley, and then you add Elvis too the equation, and his own ability too not make the changes for well being that could have prolonged his life. Yes Dr Nick too many was a swell guy, he was over his head, and allowed himself too be put in a questionable position, that passed the patient, Doctor relationship, many mistakes were made, not only by the doctors who treated Elvis, but by Elvis himself. Trey thanks for sharing this, most have never heard Dr Nick speak in person about Elvis. Your friend Bonnie
Just seeing this now. When Lisa Marie had Oprah at Graceland, I remember her saying a relative asked her if she had a "BM" one day. She was mortified of course, but also said that constipation ran in the Presley family. I'm wondering if she has been or should be tested for what Elvis had wrong with his colon. I'm sure the drugs didn't help, so many of them can cause constipation as well so it seemed like it may have been a double whammy for Elvis. I've also read that Dr. Nick would slip placebos into Elvis drug regimen to slow down his intake. I never blamed Dr. Nick, Elvis could get any "yes man" Dr. to prescribe whatever he wanted. Just sad all the way around, even all these years later. Thank you for this upload. New follower here.
I am sad that Elvis suffered so much with health issues
during his Lifetime. I am also grateful that he was born and that he used
so much of his life making people happy through his music and
his humanity. Thank you Elvis for giving us all you had for as long as you could. You will be remembered and loved always. Rest in Peace sweet man...
I think that Dr. Nick cared for Elvis to the best of his ability. I think he tried to keep the bad medications away from Elvis. Elvis told him he was sharing them with the guys and he was. Like Dr. Nick said at the trial he didn't want Elvis getting stuff off of the streets. Elvis had health problems that weren't talked about or studied about in the 70's. Thank you Trey. Elvis fans need to see this.
Poor Elvis. Every time I look at his face, I see that little shy boy in grown man's body.
Me too!
I love Elvis. I just wish he took more control of his health and got the help he needed. I also would have liked to seen him take more control of his career. Good video Trey thank you.
I agree 100 percent
Science has come a long way since the 70s. Elvis might have gotten better if he had the proper diagnosis and the right kind of doctor. I'm not disrespecting Dr. Nick, I just meant a gastroenterologist would have been able to treat his colon problem's better. It took 6 month's for the gastroenterologist to diagnose my daughter when she came down with Crohn's disease. Myself and another daughter were diagnosed with the same condition, it's hard to diagnose and not easy to treat. Elvis would've needed a break and a lot of test's to find the cause of his condition.
@@sandramaggard2962 Elvis was hospitalized. A gastroenterologist saw him. Elvis did not want to wear a colostimy bag. Surgery could have meant sure death..no successful outcome guaranteed
@@margarettaylor8107 How sad my daughter got an ileostomy when she was 17 she has Crohn's disease. I've got 2 daughters who have it but her's was critical. The doctor told me she wouldn't live past 30 she's going to be 49 December 8th so she has been really blessed she's been through a lot but I'm very happy she got to have a life. She had 2 children another 2 miracles I know the pain I've got it too but not like her. She was diagnosed at age 7, it's been a long road but we have made it through. I knew Elvis was not well I couldn't understand why others couldn't see it.
@@sandramaggard2962 He had multiple incurable conditions..some were manageable . He had a colon 4x normal, a twisted colon, and a spastic colon and had paralysis of the colon. Painful? You and your daughter know. It is thought he had a virus that caused the paralysis. He suffered immensely. He knew it would kill him eventually. He needed pain meds..could not function with pain and without them. Dr Nick often just gave him placebos..that did not control his pain so he sought out other doctors. And Dr Nick has said Elvis was not addicted. Ginger Alden said that too.I could explain if necessary. He was never fat..bloated which he lost with a good colon movement. And people made fun of his weight.I am sure that hurt him. The Stanley brothers would take bets seeing who could get closest to the date he would die. So many Judases around him.Dr. Nick was not one. He was a friend.
The guys All said(including cousin Billy) that when Dr. Nick was around Elvis was in much better health. Dr Nick got a bad rap. It was the other Drs that were giving him the drugs. He knew Dr Nick wouldn't and he even fired him a couple of times like the others. But Dr Nick told him he didn't work for him. Lol I can't believe how sharp his mind is after having a stroke. We did have a problem understanding him sometimes, so thank you Trey for putting his words up! You are so lucky to have known him! I bet you heard alot of Elvis stories. Dr Nick did the best he could for Elvis and truly loved him.
DR. Nick wrote narcotic Rx.for Elvis. There is evidence of that. And a lot. Way more than is healthy for any human. Every state has a central database, where it keeps track of narcotic Rx. Exactly which doctors are writing which Rx and for who. Now they do it by computer, where in the old days they did it by paper. Also in the old days they had to investigate each pharmacy- whereas now it ( all the data, Rx ) is all kept in a central database
I believe Dr Nick Loved Elvis and tried to help him the best he could.
Thanks for the comment.. Dr.Nick loved Elvis and I know tried his best to control every situation he dealt with.
Dr. Nick, Thank u for being Elvis doctor, THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you Trey and Billy for your great story's hi from Sydney Australia 🇭🇲💝
You can really see the love he had for Elvis in his eyes and everyone's eyes on that stage. Thanks Trey for another great video of the truth. Dr. Nice had a great sense of humor.
He was a funny guy with his wit
Danny S. Hi, yes, very intelligent people do ! Elvis too!!❤️🎶
Thank you so much for sharing these important stories.
thanks trey for putting this together rest in peace they are now reunited together again looking down on us all memphis friends
Dr nick did everything he possibly could to help save Elvis. R I P add nick& GK
Elvis presley was truly one of a kind.
*The chemical imbalances of the endocrine system are a mystery that defies all. May Elvis and his Family Rest in Peace.*
Thank you for sharing this. Watching in 2021. I had heard of the doc in Vegas. Sad to think it was a colon disorder. Glad you're out there setting the record straight for Dr. Nick. I'm sure he did his best to help Elvis
Dr Nick was a good guy and he tried to help Elvis and he loved Elvis.
What a great video things I never new, been a Elvis fan and seen him in concert in Cincinnati OH when I was a kid I remember my mom crying at the show , keep them coming 👍👍
Thank you for the extra effort of transcribing. It really helped focus on the content of the stories. ⚡️👍
That was so good to see! Dr. Nick took excellent care of Elvis. I love Elvis and I love Dr. Nick!❤️🎶🎶🎵🎵
I appreciate that Carol! Dr.Nick was a good guy and I want to honor him with my films!
I appreciate that Carol! Dr.Nick was a good guy and I want to honor him with my films!
Remember when you were a kid and kids would play the passing out game ? I remember kids squatting down and taking 10 deep breaths and they would stand up . Then someone else would press on their chest until they passed out . I remember my cousin doing that down in her basement and she fell on her dad's pool table and knock her tooth out . I thought no way !! It scared me half to death . This sounds like what Dr. Nick is talking about ( slowing down your heart ) . It makes a lot of sense how that could happen . I remember Dr. Nick explaining this in another video about Elvis being so constipated . He said , Elvis' colon was like cement when they done Elvis' autopsy . I guess Dr. Nick tried his best to help Elvis . I don't know how Elvis wasn't doubled over in pain though ? I don't know how he stood it ? That had to have been miserable . So sad . I'm glad Dr. Nick was honest about what happened though . You can tell he really did care about Elvis . Thanks Trey for sharing this video with us .
Thanks Bonnie.. Elvis was in bad health shape in the last few years. He was over worked and I feel that added to it
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey , yeah from the stories I've heard it sounded like he was just give out . I wish I could change it just like the rest of his family, friends, and fans . It's so sad . No doubt that he was loved though .
Elvis presley was used by everyone around him including his doctors Elvis Presley was a very emotional humble God loving man who loved to sing a make people happy
Sandra Miller I do agree with you on every issue that you have ever commented. On about our mr songman. I loved elvis. So so so so much. Because of his God loving soul. He loved his lord so much. He would have made such a great evangelist. A bellsheep is what he would have been. He showed so much love. And this whole big of people love him. He thanked and praised God thru his gospel song at every concert. No other does that. GOD blessed and loved elvis. So so so much. And he did prosper but he shared what he had. And donated like no other. Never ever will there ever be another. He has my heart and always will. I feel so connected to him. On a Godly basis. I know you. Understand what I mean. Sandra. Miller. Be safe. God bless you. TCB TCB
@@vickiatkins9061 Elvis was my bell sheep I had all of his gospel album's when I was a teenager and I still love Elvis's gospel music and enjoy almost daily. When he sing's gospel you can definitely feel the presence of the Lord.
But Elvis didn’t use anybody did he? 🤔 Let’s be honest for a change.
Vernon should have done something by sooner - he is the only one that could have legally done anything. When you see your child on a downward spiral headed towards disaster - you need to take action - end of story. If he had EP committed for substance abuse , perhaps he’s still he with us ? God knows. 🤷♀️
I’m sorry I can not believe what this man says. Look up 60 minutes after Elvis died. These men are making money off of this poor man that is gone!!!
I can see Dr. Nick's true friendship and love and care and integrity for Elvis and people in his eyes, in his persona. I would almost say aura. I believe him.
Thank you for coming to the defense of Dr. Nick. I had the pleasure of meeting him once & have read his book. I personally feel he was hounded by Geraldo Rivera & the media. Fans were distraught by the death of Elvis & wanted SOMEONE to take the blame for his dying at such an early age. Dr. Nick was made into a scapegoat to appease the multitudes.
Dr.Nick was hounded by Rivera and that led to him becoming the evil doctor in the Elvis world. the media created it! Dr.Nick loved Elvis and Elvis loved Dr.Nick
The medical board did a sound. Investigation. Dr. Nick over prescribed pills that There was no medical reason to justify Elvis needing these pills. Narcotics cause and worsen constipation. Doctors treat addiction, don't feed addiction. Dr. Nick fed Elvis addiction, sadly. What if every doctor did this?
There is 2 books out Elvis had a rare condition so don't let the hater get to you look for my comment I posted it why Elvis has the meds
@@bonnichasteen6424 the type of narcotics and the amount he was given aren't even given to terminal cancer patients dying from the most severe pain....educate yourself please Bonni....
Thank You
Wonderful video Trey well done made me re-evaluate Dr Nick more favourably
Trey...you are doing such a fabulous job helping to keep our beloved Elvis alive in our minds and hearts. God bless you and thank you so much.
Thank you Trey. I had never heard it described how Dr. Nick did in this video and now it all makes sense. Because as someone who has been prescribed pain medication for over a decade due to by back I know all to well the side effects and the constipation that occurs and to think that Elvis was dealing with that and the Colon issues at once just cleared up everything for me. Every Elvis fan needs to see this video.
Thanks for sharing Robert, yes maybe people with similar experiences like you will now put Elvis in a human situation. Unfortunately, Elvis had these health issues the last part of his life and I strongly feel it led to him hitting the road on us. He was over worked as well on tours! He needed rest!
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey He most definitely needed rest! I can't imagine anyone in perfect health doing 2 or 3 shows a day like he did sometimes and especially as much as he put into his shows. I really wish he took the time needed to get all that stuff took care of so he could have been around longer but it just wasnt to be. I was born in Sept of 79 but because his movies and concerts were on tv all the time growing up I didn't find out he wasn't still alive until I was around 7 or 8 when my dad finally told me he had died in 77 before I was born. I was asking him if we could go see a concert one night when I it was Aloha was on tv and that's when my dad told me the story about how he died and even a personal story of his that he and my mom had plans to go to what ended up being his last concert in indy but dad wasnt able to get off work. Well they saw Elvis was coming here to Louisville on the next tour in August of 77 so they said well just get tickets then and go here so they didn't have to drive to Indy or risk getting in trouble at work. Ofcourse we all know that August tour didn't happen and my dad regrets to this day not taking off work anyway and going to Indianapolis to see Elvis because he never got to see him live either. Just goes to show how much Elvis meant to and still means to us fans. There will never be anyone else like him.
He had health issues from childhood
Read "Destined to Die Young" by Sally Hoedel. She does a comprehensive medical history.
Thanks Trey, very interesting, you're doing a great job, loving your vids on Elvis.
I appreciate it Jackie
Thank you Trey, for letting us learn more about dr.Nick, I knew he was totally dedicated to Elvis. He was truly caring. Nice you knew him.
I believe he tried his best and got caught up in a bad situation. He was a good guy to me and I hate his name will be forever known in history as the doctor..
Elvis was going to get what he needed. Trey's a good kid and I appreciate his love for elvis.
I do love Trey's and Spa Guy's videos. I just can't help but feel with this particular video Dr. Nick and GK are trying very hard to absolve themselves of any blame......True only Elvis could have helped Elvis.....I believe Elvis probably had severe anxiety and tried to self medicate...and it spiraled out of control....I just find it difficult to understand how a medical professional justifies prescribing thousands upon thousands of pills to someone who obviously has no control over their addiction anymore....where is the sound judgement that a doctor needs in this case ?
VAL (SOUTH AFRICA) THANKS TREY FOR ANOTHER GOOD ONE. I AM TRYING TO GO THOUGH ALL YOUR VIDEOS TO CATCH UP AND REALLY ENJOY THEM ALL SO FAR. SHAME, I FELT SO SORRY FOR DR NICK, HE LOOKED REALLY FRAIL AND OLD. I ALSO WANT TO BELIEVE THAT HE DID HIS LEVEL BEST FOR OUT EP. PS I LOVE YOUR GUITAR MUSIC!!!!!! WITH LOTS OF GOOD WISHES FROM SA - VAL
Hope you enjoy the shows man.. Dr Nick was a caring guy and very nice. I have no doubt he tried his best to help elvis
Thank you Trey, it’s so good to hear honesty although graphic & sad to hear is the hard truth. I always thought that Elvis’ trouble with his colon, his bloating & constipation was a result of the drugs messing up his digestive system. The constipation factor & his discomfort & pushing to relieve himself obviously strained his heart 💔 & caused a heart attack. So very sad 😔
It’s sad, but it also shows Elvis was a human being and he had health issues the last few years and people don’t understand that aspect of the situation.
Narcotics worsen constipation. Everybody knows that
@@victoriapiccone2165 everyone except Trey it would seem
I may be a year late commenting on this video but I’m going back and watching them all.

Hey Trey, I never comment on videos, not even on Spa Guy's...lol....I don't know when or if you will get this reply or if you go back to check on your videos that are over a week old...but I just had to say, I cannot stop thinking about this particular video of yours. I mean it is awesome....but it's more than that....it is beyond awesome!! I had heard about Elvis's constipation problem before and autopsy...(on the Reelz channel Autopsy, they backed up everything Dr Nick stated)....but my FAVORITE part of the whole video (in addition to Dr Nick's sincere words and the look on his eyes) was your commentary at the end...the look in your own eyes as you spoke of your friendship and your experience with Dr. Nick...you were very sincere and honest....it almost made me cry. You were genuine and it was touching and totally believable. I think maybe the whole or part of the Elvis mystique or whatever you want to call it was how Elvis passed so young, and all the press about how lots of people seemed to take advantage of Elvis for their own gain, and no one could seem to help Elvis from self destruction when Elvis seemed to have it all....it's just sad at the end. But your video puts down the whole idea of suicide or that Elvis knew what he was doing it that he accidentally took too much medication. Your video definitely brings out the human side of Elvis....and that is touching and amazing. Beyond awesome job Trey!! Sincerely.
I really appreciate that comment Wayne! Thanks for taking the time to share & thanks for watching!
Nice post, thank you❤
Enjoyed that funny and sad at the same time. I can understand if you take to meny tablets it can do that to your body. I take Prescription pills and I only take the amount I'm supposed to. but sometimes even than I can't go to the toilet. So I can understand if Elvis was taking alot more tablets than he should it would do that, and don't forget Elvis had a twisted colon too . Very sad. Thanks Trey.
A very painful condition
yea i listened to this interview , and i think dr nick did love him tried to help him , i laughed when he left the bottle and elvis said , yea i took them thought had i taken them all i would get better quicker , elvis was innocent naive to a lot of things , not saying he was stupid , far from it ,he was very inteligent read up a lot on meds but you know wat i mean he was like this young innocent not a bad bone in his body trusted everyone and wat they told him , he learned a lot from thoes medicine books , and i know he was suffering and would have done anything to got rid of that mass in his gut , my god we all never knew til it became public how bad elvis was how he must have suffered and thoe months leading up , but he still pushed thru kept to his shows gave his all my heart breaks for him
Thank you Tray for the video. Just goes to show ya our guy had real problems too. I’m so glad he had dr nick on his side I know he helped him a lot. Thank you dr nick. You probably saved his life a few times. I’m just so sad his heart wasn’t doing so good, but he got that from his momma. And those so called other people ( I won’t even call them drs) were just out for the money. They made our Elvis Presley sick. Elvis just did what he had too do. TCB. I love Everything about our guy and just so glad we had this wonderful beautiful amazing man as long as we did. 😇🕺🏻😎⚡️🥰🤗❤️ Always and forever.
I’ve never blamed Dr Nick for Elvis’s death, the only person to blame for it is Elvis himself! I love Elvis but he was a fool to himself and I truly believe he needed a good shake and someone to say ‘wake up man, you’re killing yourself’ and I think as a last effort that’s what Red, Sonny and Dave tried to do with there book. Good video Trey 👍
Dr Nick is partly to blame because he provided the weapon for Elvis to kill himself. Any medical doctor that actually cares for his patients would never prescribe the variety and amount of deadly narcotics that Dr Nick prescribed Elvis. The prescription records are public and you can see what Nick prescribed to Elvis on Aug 15, 1977 (the day before Elvis died) and the amounts are mind boggling. He wrote Elvis pain pills, sleeping pills, nerve pills, and even a drug only used by patients in stage 4 cancer. He even wrote him liquid drugs for use by injection. Dr. Nick was a quack!
@@devinw5150 very tru... Doctor Nick even wrote the last prescription for Elvis for Dilaudid. He got the Codeine from his dentist and the morphine from Doctor Nick, why would he need all that stuff ???
@@minkahed6724 Because he was suffering from genetic and chronic conditions that not even DR NICK could work out, as testified by his nurse. Read the book Destined to D#e young, if you want the full story.
@@devinw5150 These meds in his system were for all his medical conditions
...none were out of therapeutic range.
@@minkahed6724 He has a twisted colon, a spastic colon..very painful..Also had back issues etc.
Thank you for the great video ❤️ you
That was very interesting and so good to have the subtitles, so I could understand Dr. Nick. Thank you Trey.
Thanks Katharina! Stay tuned for more episodes!
I believe Dr. Nick did his best to see that Elvis took only as much medication as he was supposed to. It was out of Dr. Nick's control that the other doctors were giving Elvis more medication without Dr. Nick's knowledge. Rest in peace Dr. Nick.
P.S. My doctor who I was a patient of from the day I was born until he retired was an Elvis fan and he had Elvis pictures and Gold record replicas in his exam rooms. Elvis has been a part of my life for the majority of my life.
You are very wrong
What Dr Nick is talking about is absolutely true. After pushing and straining people with underlying medical issues like high blood pressure can suffer a heart attack. I’ve been an advanced practice nurse & I know opiates and some other drugs Elvis was dependent on will cause constipation. Elvis was on a huge amount of opiates for a long time so his tolerance was high Dr Nick knows opiates and benzodiazepines were a contributory factor in Elvis’s early demise but is saving face to an extent. Elvis was quite intelligent and well versed regarding the drugs he took but addiction is a gripping, very real hell. Patients stay on the drugs fearing withdrawal. Valsalva maneuver caused his death but polypharmacy was contributory.
You're right! It was a combination of both, sadly. I sure wish today's restrictions on medications were around back then. Hindsight is 20/20. Sure do miss Elvis!
Really? Well guess what. Here's the proof that Elvis the Man did not die, just the "image."

Question if elvis Presley had a problem with his colon why didn't they operate?
My understanding is that they didn’t realize it until after the autopsy. Doctors did not have the technology of today in the 70s of course and that hurt Elvis.
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey thankyou sir . May I say your doing a great job on UA-cam, you are a great credit to elvis Presley and the people who worked around, thanks again. Looking forward to more video's.

Gosh Trey .... I really got choked up on this video 😓Dr . Nick was a super guy and doctor! I’m so glad you and Dr. were friends! I loved him for telling this story and with such heart ! Plus funny too . I’m glad the truth is out and May Dr. Nick RIP !! I really appreciate this video Trey 🤝👍🏼🙌🏼THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊
It’s important for me to make sure the real Dr.Nick is out there for fans to discover and not the fake news that the media created in 1977 to blame him for Elvis’ passing . That was unfair and not great investigation on Geraldo Rivera and his team!
Thanks so much for sharing! TCB 🌩️♥️💯
Thanks man! just TCBing!
Elvis was told he needed surgery on his colon.He turned it down because the doctors told Elvis that they would have to remove part of his colon and he would have to wear a bag afterwards. Elvis said no because he couldn’t wear a bag and perform in concerts for his fans. Dr. Nick built a huge house in Memphis, lived their I guess until he died. The house was so large the bank wouldn’t lend him all the money he needed to build it so Dr. Nick went to Elvis and borrowed I think it was $250,000.00. Elvis gave it to him. Don’t know if Dr. Nick ever paid Elvis back. Dr. Nick did what he could for Elvis, which was great but Elvis did so much for Dr. Nick. Hired his son, Nick. Bought cars for them, Took Dr. Nick, wife and son on vacations with him. Bought jewelry for all of the family. Paid all expenses on out of town tours and shows, Dr. Nick and his wife many times. They had a wonderful friendship. Elvis was never going to let his fans down that is why he kept pushing himself. That and his Ex-Wife, Priscilla, taking him to court after their divorce at two or three times getting millions from Elvis to keep her lavish lifestyle up in Hollywood. Elvis paid it to her because he loved his precious daughter, Lisa Marie. Priscilla is the one that nearly broke him. Now that Lisa Marie has left us, Priscilla is fighting the will of Lisa Marie to keep Lisa’s daughters from getting Graceland and everything connected to it. We fans need to pray that Priscilla or Michael Lockwood DOES NOT get by with this protest of Lisa Marie’s will. Elvis and Lisa Marie loved Graceland so much. It was their safe haven. Vernon and Gladys, and Minnie Mae are buried there along with Elvis, Lisa Marie and her son Benjamin. They are all Presley Blood . Miss Priscilla Ann Wagner Beaulieu is not. When Priscilla left Elvis she went to California to Mike Stone and her many other guys, having an illegitimate son by one. Elvis told after the divorce to never use the PRESLEY name for anything. Soon after Elvis died she started using the PRESLEY name for $$$$$$$$$ and has been using it for over 55 years. Time to pass it to Elvis’s granddaughters and greatgranddaughter. Priscilla has made millions of dollars off of Elvis and his daughter, Lisa Marie. Elvis left NOTHING to Priscill Ann Wagner Beaulieu in his will. When Vernon and Minnie Mae died it was all left to Lisa Marie.

Thank you for posting this. I’ve never seen it. I think Elvis would have been around longer had it not been for Dr G in Vegas and the one in LA. The guys, Linda, and Priscilla knew it too.
Great clip Trey, you do Spa Guy proud!
You could see he really loved Elvis RIP thanks Trey. 🙏❤️
They know much more about the effects of opiates overdoses now and long term use, which does cause severe constipation, and also arrhythmia if too high of doses, especially fentanyl
Dr Nick was like family to Elvis, with modern technology like cat scans etc they could have probably detected the colon blockage, having had experience with prescription drug addiction myself it is common for painkiller type drugs to cause constipation and generally drying up you're crap, it would not be unusual for that to lead to the colon problem, I often say it's not important how Elvis died but that he lived, to think his mother endured a stillborn birth to then give birth to the number 1 entertainer of all time is up there with the miracle of the birth of Jesus, his mother was the Virgin Mary, Elvis was here for 42 years but his legacy will outlast us all.
Love this post, thank you for your insight into what Elvis suffered😢
That was really good 👍🏻😎
Dr. Nick was doing all that he could and then some. I have full faith he wanted the best for Elvis and pardon the expression but shit happens. You can’t fix the world or a great person such as Elvis. Sometimes things just happen to good people in every aspect.
I agree man! I appreciate that! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more episodes each Tuesday!
I love Dr Nick. Everyone around Nick loved him.
Change of diet, exercise, increased water and fiber would have made a difference, it’s sad Elvis didn’t have a dietician on his staff. Dr nick must have known that constipation poisons the body, I’m just surprised enemas , laxatives and dietary changes for Elvis were not more focused on during that time. Most doctors want to push pills.
Laxatives are a pill and after a while the body cannot do the job on its own.
He did use laxatives a lot. After all these years and all we know pills are still
the choice of doctors to "manage" versus actually cure anything.
agreed, guessing it was a time when a lot of things we have today were not around then , quite right elvis should have had a dietician , he had so many work for him dentist , doctor , his diet was atrocious that did contribute to his death
Losap they were focused on.
Thank You Trey
Great video 👍thank you so much ✌
Thanks, Trey. Been so many talk crap without knowing pertinent facts, and so much crap reported it’s sinful. Now, the loss of LMP’s son Benjamin. She needs the simple courtesy of respect, and 🙏🏼.
Dr Nick did not kill Elvis,, all the people around him worked hard in pleasing Elvis, what Elvis wanted Elvis got .
Thanks for watching man. Dr.Nick definitely did not kill Elvis, he loved the guy.. they all were just living a life in the 70s but they cared for Elvis. Elvis was not the healthiest person as well and his schedule was not great those later years. Many things contributed to his decline
New subscriber here! Ty for sharing. As a youngster, I wanted Dr. Nick punished (my love for Elvis began at 11 years old lol), but I erroneously thought the Dr was the bad guy back then. Now, I know better of course. He was a caring kind man...
Glad you found me Marie.. Dr. Nick took the worst fall of everyone and he was the doctor that actually kept Elvis normal.. most guys tell you that if dr nick was not around is when Elvis was not Elvis.. when he was around Dr nick could keep him from doing stuff he shouldn’t do… unfortunately the new movie shows dr nick giving him anything.. those doctors really existed but they were out west.
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey yes I've since discovered these other "doctors" and seems to me that it was a conspiracy to pin it on Dr. Nick (a country TN doc). Bc those other doctors had many high-profile clients. Anyway, ty again!
A great video of the truth
Great video Trey!
Great job my friend!! Thanks for all your hard work!! TCB ⚡
Thanks Billy! I appreciate that!
Good to hear from Dr Nick thanks for sharing Trey. I know you knew him and I don't doubt Dr Nick cared about Elvis. Elvis would never have hired him for all those years if he wasn't a good man. The only time they fell out as I understand it was in 1976 over the Raquetball saga. When they parted company Elvis got in another doctor who nearly killed him a year before he died. If you listen to Houston We Have A Problem you can hear the worst concert Elvis ever did he was clearly out of it. The Colonel actually got Dr Nick back to sort of the problems with this other doctor and Elvis got it back towards the end of the year. Dr Nick did overprescibe for Elvis but I think the internal damage had already been done by these other doctors. One thing that's alway puzzled me though is why Dr Nick pumped out the contents of Elvis stomach before the autopsy. If there was nothing to hide why do that. And why did he only come up with this theory about how Elvis died all these years later. Somethings don't add up but I don't hate Dr Nick he was in a position where if he didn't give the pills then Elvis would get someone in who did..and when he did that before they gave him more destructive medication that Nick gave so he was in a no win situation as was Elvis. Sadly.
Awesome Trey. I believe Dr. Nick always had Elvis's best Interest at heart.
He did! No doubt about it David! Thanks for watching
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey will anyone answer my question/ questions ???
Trey I'm curious how you got this footage. It seems like it was shot at the University during an Elvis week. Can you give details? I never saw any footage of Dr. Nick as he actually described the cause of Elvis' death. Remarkable!
I filmed it at GKs Memorial for Elvis at Memphis State. GK had this every August 16th and it was a free event
@@GlobetrottingWithTrey Thanks. Great footage. As one woman in the audience yells out after Nick's explanation, "Thank you for that."

Great vlog!!!! Dr. Nick I have always felt was not treated fairly. Elvis had many doctors all over the United States.😟😭. Who was Elvis' doctor prior to Dr. Nick?
He was treated terrible!! I don’t know who Elvis Doctor was prior to Dr.Nick

Thanks for watching
The amount of prescriptions written out by this doctor was insane.
While he wasn't responsible for Elvis choices he was responsible for
being a willing contributor.
Trying to control what he took came a little too late in the game.
As a physician he was either highly incompetent or just too caught up
in the lifestyle keeping Elvis happy afforded him.
The physician oath is first do no harm. So much for that.
Him being "nice" doesn't cancel out the amount of drugs he prescribed like candy.
Absolutely bro 👊💯
absolutely, Trey has an agenda, maybe he's promised his mate Dean.
Agree completely. All these comments about “aww poor doctor Nick and poor Elvis”
I’m a gigantic Elvis fan but the man was a straight up drug addict plain and simple. This man willingly gave him these prescriptions and by the boat load. Demerol and dilaudid are taken by people that are pretty much dying and Elvis had a ton of it prescribed by this man. Perhaps he had colon issues, fine ok, but taking massive amounts of opiates and downers certainly didn’t help the issue any bit especially with constipation being one of the main side effects. This man wasn’t a saint and he wasn’t wrongfully accused. Just an easy look online will show what this man prescribed Elvis before his last tour.Elvis wasn’t a saint, he was a grown ass man that made his own decisions. Nobody could have helped him except himself.
@@markus5862 Absolutely. I was 14 when he died and they aired that horrible last filmed concert.
Even at that age I said he's not fat, he's filled with fluid. I had seen that in my grandmother all my life
with her ongoing congestive heart failures , high blood pressure and heart attacks.
One of the organizers for a British fan club was in a row very close to the stage at one of his last concerts.
He said he could see that Elvis was clearly jaundiced. How did the doctor not see this?
He was a money making machine injected and filled up to keep him going and pacified.
Nicopolous was accused of overprescrping others including his own daughter.
His manager also had the power to act in his behalf and not book concerts due to the shape he was in.
Most people who are that addicted cannot act in their own best interest, no one else in my opinion who
could have did anything either.
You may not have the power to stop someone but out real concern you do not contribute to it.
Agreed definitely a sicko who contributed to killing Elvis
Yes Elvis would have had better friends around and may be he would have still been here today
Love Elvis always😀😀😀💕💕💕💕
I am convinced that Dr. Nick kept Elvis alive and happy for many years until he went home.❤️🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵
Errrrm you do know he killed him right?
Hi Trey, Thanks for sharing this video today, and your personal thoughts on Dr Nick. There's lots of ways too look at Elvis' demise, it's awful too say ,but doctors if knowing he had a almost complete bowel blockage, knew surgery might have helped or corrected this problem chose too do nothing, on grounds that this is Elvis Presley, and if he dies under the knife (surgery) we'll be held accountable, but they sure we're not hindered in over prescribing pills too him, which contributed too his early death, along with poor diet, and other health problems, and all the touring which probably contributed too, it just seems like a double standard. Surgery, maybe could have corrected his colon problem, but drugs were prescribed instead? I think for us too look at his death now, and try too equate answers too why this happened, it's hard too see for some, because we weren't there, too personally see Elvis in his private time away from the cameras, and too seek answers from the doctors who saw Elvis, because most are dead now too, one Doctor is no better or worse than the other, because they all in one since or the other failed Elvis, by neglecting him as a person instead of seeing him as their meal ticket, and avoiding his physical problems, because no surgery too correct his problems were offered, just pills prescribed, there was no Betty Ford's clinic's too help at the time, too curb his addiction, and who could say No too Elvis Presley, and then you add Elvis too the equation, and his own ability too not make the changes for well being that could have prolonged his life. Yes Dr Nick too many was a swell guy, he was over his head, and allowed himself too be put in a questionable position, that passed the patient, Doctor relationship, many mistakes were made, not only by the doctors who treated Elvis, but by Elvis himself. Trey thanks for sharing this, most have never heard Dr Nick speak in person about Elvis. Your friend Bonnie
I wish they would make an audio book
He sure got a bad rap you sure see the love he had for Elvis
If Elvis could’ve only eaten some of my ex mother in laws cooking. He wouldn’t had no problem going to bathroom.
That’s a good one Robert
Hi, cool
Just seeing this now. When Lisa Marie had Oprah at Graceland, I remember her saying a relative asked her if she had a "BM" one day. She was mortified of course, but also said that constipation ran in the Presley family. I'm wondering if she has been or should be tested for what Elvis had wrong with his colon. I'm sure the drugs didn't help, so many of them can cause constipation as well so it seemed like it may have been a double whammy for Elvis. I've also read that Dr. Nick would slip placebos into Elvis drug regimen to slow down his intake. I never blamed Dr. Nick, Elvis could get any "yes man" Dr. to prescribe whatever he wanted. Just sad all the way around, even all these years later. Thank you for this upload. New follower here.
Can you do something on Ginger Alden
This was good.
Hopefully I can
