According to the New York Post and other U.S. media, President Donald Trump announced on the afternoon of the 6th (local time) an agreement with global pharmaceutical companies to cut the price of obesity treatments, attended by key figures such as Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the U.S. Centers for Health Insurance and Medical Insurance Services (CMS), and representatives of pharmaceutical companies.
At the time, Eli Lilly CEO David Riggs was giving a speech when a man standing behind suddenly lost his balance and collapsed, and Riggs immediately said "Are you okay?" cried out. President Trump got up from his seat and approached the man, and Dr. Oz also moved quickly for first aid.
The White House medical team at the scene immediately responded, and White House press secretary Caroline Levitt later said the man was the head of the pharmaceutical company and was in stable condition.
President Trump resumed his press conference, saying, `I think I was a little dizzy"Now I'm being treated by a doctor and I'm fine " he explained.
Initially, rumors circulated that the fallen man was Gordon Findlay, an executive at global pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, but the company denied being the person, saying only CEO Mike Dausdar and U.S. Vice President of Operations Dave Moore attended. In the meantime, Novo Nordisk said "I hope that the person who experienced the medical accident today will be safe."
This is not the first time that a person has fainted at a White House event.
Dr. Oz also suffered an 11-year-old granddaughter fainting during a White House event in April this year. At the time, he was appointed head of the U.S. Medical Insurance and Health Insurance Services Center, and his granddaughter collapsed while President Trump was being questioned by reporters.
