Est. $1,000-$1,500 Elvis Presley Medical Light Used on Tour by Personal Nurse Tish Henley W/LOA (Working) - This medical light was used on Elvis Presley by his personal nurse Letetia "Tish" Henley Kirk. Tish Henley was Elvis' personal nurse from 1968 to 1977, and lived behind the Graceland mansion with her husband and their two daughters from 1973 to 1983. She worked on call at the Graceland mansion and often on tour with Elvis and took care of the entire Presley family under the supervision of Elvis' long time trusted physician Dr. George Nichopoulos. The medical light has branding for the "Compazine" brand of prochlorperazine, and turns on by pressing the shirt clip and is still working. According to Henley, the light was used to check Elvis' throat to make sure nothing was swollen or infected. The light will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity.
