Someone was prescribing all those pills
This is seething with more maggots than Elvis.
He sounds like Howard Hughes, except Hughes did not spend all his money.
Not just pills, including powerful Dilaudid and Vicodin, but supposedly daily injections of Demerol narcotic. I’m no doctor, but I doubt if anyone would use all those together even on a patient in extreme pain in hospital. This sounds like another sad case of the rich and powerful getting anything they want, however unadvisable, by just buying themselves a doctor.
