The author of this book absolutely sparks the imagination of readers with new information revealed about Elvis Presley. Donald Hinton, MD, is a medical doctor who has specialized in the field of psychiatry. The physician lives in the State of Missouri and practices medicine at two different hospitals. But this is not what his new book is about. Dr. Hinton claims that a mutual friend introduced him to Elvis Presley.
Dr. Hinton explains that Elvis Presley is indeed alive and well. However, he suffers from chronic pain syndrome. When a mutual friend introduced him to Elvis, he discovered some differences with the man claiming to be the former King of Rock-and-Roll. It seems that Elvis has changed his name to Jesse. This is the name of Elvis’ twin brother, who died at birth. From this point on, I will address Elvis, as Jesse, as Dr. Hinton has done.
When Dr. Hinton met Jesse, he examined him as a patient. He discovered that Jesse suffered from chronic pain syndrome. Even though this is not his area of specialty, the physician was able to treat Jesse for his problem. During the time he treated Jesse, he developed a close relationship with him. Dr. Hinton claims that it’s easy to see that Jesse is Elvis. Aside from aging, the man is obviously Elvis Presley.
Dr. Hinton claims that Jesse was able to go to his former home, Graceland, and find a pair of cuff links in his former bedroom. He claims that Jesse gave him the cuff links as further proof of his identity. When Dr. Hinton tries to probe Jesse as to how he’s financially surviving these days, he finds out that Jesse has a number of liquid assets and cash to last him for a long time. However, he was vanquished from his former home, Graceland, when Elvis Presley Enterprises found out about him.
Dr. Hinton explains that he was intrigued that Jesse has no credibility in the eyes of his former friends and family. However, given the evidence provided by Jesse, he found it not impossible for his story to be true.
Dr. Hinton claims that Jesse also offers various FBI files that would be difficult for anyone else but Elvis to get. Dr. Hinton claims that Jesse is living a very secluded life, but enjoys day-to-day activities that Elvis never could experience.
Although the book is about Dr. Hinton’s relationship with Jesse, it is considered an autobiography.
I really liked the detail that Dr. Hinton provides in his book regarding the different times he met and visited with Jesse, along with some details regarding the FBI files. He gives details about Elvis’s voice and uncanny similarities between Jesse and Elvis. His detail seems to make his story very credible.
However, what I don’t like about the book is that he doesn’t give specific information as to what Jesse is doing presently. He also doesn’t give specific information where Jesse is living. It seems that Jesse has several different homes, each in different states.
At first I thought that the book was an attempt to capitalize on Elvis Presley. Even though I have not dismissed this suspicion, it cannot be denied that Dr. Hinton has provided information to his readers that would not be available unless one had a connection with Elvis.
Obviously, the truth exists. However, as in many other books and claims, you must come to your own conclusion.
