Vail Colorado, January 4, 1976

After a skiing accident at Vail Colorado, with Dr Nick’s George Nichopoulos son Dean needing medical attention, Elvis, Dr Nick and Dean went to the local hospital.

George Nichopoulos said ‘Finally we arrived at the hospital. I pulled out my Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance card with Elvis Presley Enterprises printed on it and handed it to the busy receptionist.

She must have thought she was being cute,beause she smirked back, ‘Yeah. So where’s Elvis?’

Still wearing his ski mask, Elvis looked all around, left and right, up and down; then he answered mischievously, ‘He’s here somewhere’, ‘And who are you?’ the receptionist said back. ‘The Lone Ranger’, Elvis replied matter-of-factly. But she had already returned to her paperwork, paying no attention to the silly masked man. X-rays showed Dean’s knee was badly sprained and bruised with contusions.
