I watched a show about Elvis’ autopsy (series on Reelz channel) and they determined that because of the large amounts of sedatives that Elvis was taking, he was constipated with such a large amoun of feces that he may have required surgery to pass it. He woke up in the middle of the night, unbeknownst to his girlfriend, and was pushing and pushing to go to the bathroom, then got up and took a step and dropped in the bathroom. The girlfriend didn’t know until she woke up in the early morning and found him on the bathroom floor, dead.
I later found out from working with nurses at my job that another remedy for really bad constipation is they put a G-tube down your nose and suck the shit out the tube through your nose. How gross is that? I guess if you’re old and frail, it’s better than surgery but it seems terribly disgusting.
