After a few days of not feeling very well, Elvis was well enough again to attend a show at the Memphian.
Elvis: "A Day in the Life" October 15, 1973, (Monday)
Baptist Memorial Hospital, Midtown, Memphis, Tennessee.
After a short period of feeling well, Elvis, again began having breathing problems. This forced Dr. Nichopoulos to admit Elvis
as his patient to Memphis Baptist Memorial Hospital. A great amount of tests were carried out to determine the cause of his
condition. Heart failure was immediately ruled out. At first the medical team had no idea at all, what could be the problem, until Dr. Nichopoulos came up with the thought that it could have something to do with Elvis' "acupuncture" treatments in California. Maybe the Demerol included in these injections caused the breathing problem. Dr. Nick also found out from his colleague in California that Elvis was receiving almost daily injections, Because of the addictive effect of Demerol Dr. Nick knew that his friend and patient would now have to be treated as an addict. Because of this, Elvis had to remain in the hospital for two weeks and Linda stayed by his side the whole time. The hospital administered phenobarbital immediately to counteract any withdrawal reactions.
