| #3 Wow. "Poor motility of the Bowel" > IIUC, the good Doc is also inferring a SERIOUS OR SEVERE BOWEL OBSTRUCTION condition for the King? IMO it's possible Elvis may had also been severely afflcited wid internal ulcers caused by "MONTHS-OLD" [weeks?] stool staying stuck in his intestines andor colon. ELVIS MAY HAD DIED IN PAIN, all of which can induce his bloaty appearance. People wid ulcers tend to consume the very same-or-worse foods which caused their affliction as it can relieve + temper the strong acids churning in their system. * STOMACH ACIDS > IIRC are strong enough by itself to dissolve certain HARD METALLIC ELEMENTS. Don't worry, America, He's still and is forever "the King"! |

| #1 There was an old medical tale of an MD who was held in high esteem because he had successfully treated a reverend with such severe constipation that it had also blocked his ability to urinate. The doctor mixed up a rare cocktail of laxatives that "could have uncorked an elephant", as well as a potent muscle relaxant. And it was so profoundly successful that the reverend turned it into a grandiose sermon for his congregation, once he had recovered his composure. As the reverend regaled, "This man of science not only moved a mountain, but brought forth a river! And by his skills, I am freed of what must have been Satan himself in my bowels, both in bulk and the foulness of his demonic stench!" |
