I can comment here, as well.
Trained as a Medical Technologist at Baptist.
While working in the immunology lab, I ran across frozen vials labeled "EP", 1977. After asking folks in the lab about their identity, they sheepishly told me that this was serum taken from Elvis for analysis when his body was taken to Baptist the day he died! Souvenirs?
