Mary Roach Quote
Presley was given laxatives and enemas on an almost daily basis. I carried around three or four boxes of Fleets, Nichopoulos says, referring to the enema brand and recalling his days on tour with Presley. Getting the timing right was, he says, a difficult balancing act. Presley sometimes did two shows a day, and Nichopoulos had to schedule the administration such that the treatments didn’t kick in while the singer was on stage.
