“Press out,” she said as the collapsed person received medical attention.
Trump stopped his speech mid-sentence as he momentarily left the podium to see what was happening.
Dr. Oz’s wife, Lisa, could be seen putting her hand over her mouth with a concerned look.
Others supported the collapsed attendee as they were escorted out of the Oval Office.
Dr. Oz was being sworn in to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under President Trump.
