Language: English. Brand new Book. Front page headlines on the day Elvis Presley died showed the deep feelings so many had for the first and only "King" of Rock 'n Roll. His early death at a young age was a shock. Not even 24 hours had passed after his death before the controversies started around the cause of his death. Did he really die of a heart attack as stated by the county coroner, or was his death a drug over-dose? Heart or drugs; what actually killed him? What were Elvis Presley's health issues that plagued him during his short life? Why was he in so much pain? Why the early death? His full medical saga has only recently begun to be thoroughly examined. After all these years people still want to know what happened to the "King." Three years after his death, I served as the major expert defense witness for Elvis' doctor, Dr. George C. Nichopolous. The District Attorney of Shelby County originally wanted to charge him with murder/manslaughter for "intentionally prescribing to harm Elvis Presley," but the charges were changed to "prescribing without a legitimate medical purpose." The jury promptly acquitted him, but I was left with many questions about what exactly was physically wrong with Elvis. The question of "was it heart or was it drugs" remained unanswered. In the years since his death, medical research has advanced to the point that we have new insights regarding his underling health problems and untimely death. Many of the mysteries of Elvis' life and death, which I hope to unveil in this book, can now be answered. I am in the unique position of being the only physician in the country who still has Elvis' full medical records from the trial. With expertise in internal medicine, addiction, and pain medicine along with having personally known his physicians, I am in a unique position to help uncover his mysterious medical saga. My hope is to shed some light on his health issues, and hopefully, with the help of medical science and common sense, solve the mystery of what really happened to Elvis! Forest Tennant, Books.

Language: English. Brand new Book. What started as a medical investigation on the death of Howard Hughes nearly 50 years ago, has now become a fascinating historical work. A whole new perspective on his life is delivered here, brought forward through the lens of his medical history. In 1976, HH died without a will. His toxicology report showed he died with large amounts of codeine in his system. Was HH, the richest man in the world, murdered, kept addicted to control his money and empire, or was his death caused by medical neglect? There were multiple lawsuits and investigations. Nefarious motives behind his drug use were suspected, given his reclusive lifestyle and mysterious death. Enter Dr. Forest Tennant, who received an unexpected phone call two years after HH died, from an agent of the Federal Government. He was asked to be a medical consultant on the Hughes case because of his vast experience at the time in treating addiction and pain. He was hired to investigate and analyze the few records that existed on Hughes and review the autopsy and toxicology reports. He was to give an opinion and testify as to whether his physicians had illegally supplied HH with narcotics. Was this the story of a deranged man addicted to drugs, or was he just a man who was in pain? Dr. Tennant takes us on a historical journey into the medical conditions uncovered in his investigation that plagued HH and inadvertently forged his life. He suffered from three disorders in which little was known and had no treatments for back then: obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and intractable pain syndrome (IPS). These disorders explain many of his unusual life habits. His medical saga is still of great interest to us today and much is to be learned from it. His medical treatments allowed him to live a very productive life despite severe injuries that caused constant pain. This work sheds a compassionate and humane view of a man who contributed a great deal to the world in the 20th century. Books.
