An attendee at President Donald Trump's drug pricing event on Thursday collapsed.
The man, whom the White House has refused to identify, fainted just feet away from the president, who was seated at the Resolute Desk.
The health scare led to the event being paused, with White House aides quickly telling reporters that they needed to leave the Oval Office.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who serves as Trump's Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, jumped into action, helping the man to the floor and then offering him medical attention.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the attendee was doing fine moments later.
'During the Most Favored Nations Oval Office Announcement, a representative with one of the companies fainted. The White House Medical Unit quickly jumped into action, and the gentleman is okay. The Press Conference will resume shortly,' she said in a statement.
When the press conference resumed, the president acknowledged the incident.
