On Thursday, as Dr. Oz gave a speech in the Oval Office with Donald Trump and guests in attendance, one guest suddenly collapsed in the background, which was caught on camera. Now, people are losing it over the president’s reaction.
“Press out,” White House officials shouted when a person, who has not been identified, collapsed on the Oval Office floor behind the Resolute Desk. Dr. Mehmet Oz, Trump’s administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, held a press conference regarding the president’s announcement of his weight-loss drug cost-reduction plan when the incident occurred.
Executives from Novo Nordisk, which makes Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy, were present. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later stated that the person was doing “okay” after the fainting.
“The White House Medical Unit quickly jumped into action, and the gentleman is okay,” she said.
