An attendee at President Donald Trump's drug pricing event on Thursday collapsed.
A man identified as Novo Nordisk executive Gordon Findlay fainted just feet away from the president, who was seated at the Resolute Desk.
The health scare led to the event being postponed, 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, guiding Findlay to the floor and then offering him medical attention.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt didn't identify Findlay by name but said he 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.
'One of the representatives of the companies, one of the companies, got a little bit light-headed. You saw he went down. And he's fine. They just sent him out, he's got doctor's care, but he's fine,' Trump said. 'So we had a little bit of an interruption, sorry about that.'

A victim of C19 vaxxx and boosters?
More likely “locked knees” or dehydration.
he looked in pretty good shape
has he lost weight lately?
pretty ironic considering this is a health meeting.
i knew president trump would come thru for me with novo nordisk, I’m a big investor
Crowded room. Low O2 Prob heat on first time. Most military ppl and church goers know to bend knees.
Ozempic will reveal startling after effects one day. Count on it.
My doctor has been trying to get me to take Ozempic. In fact we even got into an argument about it.
They are pushing it so hard that I have to wonder just how much money (kickback) are doctors getting for proscribing it.
Must be a lot!
Going to be one of the biggest disasters in human health history, as well as the largest class action lawsuit settlement ever.
Free lunches & dinners (the sneaky $25 hits)
57 obesity doctors each pocketed $100k–$750k from Novo since 2013 for giving dinner talks or “advising.”
Example: Dr. Lee Kaplan (Harvard) earned $1.3 million in speaking fees while running Novo-funded courses that certify doctors to prescribe Wegovy/Ozempic
Average speaker gig: $2,500–$7,500 for a 45-minute hotel-ballroom talk + slides Novo supplies.
2024: Novo bought 457,000 meals for doctors → $9 million total.
One endocrinologist logged 193 free meals in a single year
Legal loophole: meals under $25 each don’t trigger full disclosure.

Ozempic has been a diabetes drug for almost 20 years now.
It’s extremely well-tested. (Unlike, say, Covid “vax”.)
It’s also basically just a copy of a naturally-occurring hormone, not some Frankenstein novelty.
A victim of Trump’s negotiations, with his company clipped of billions in profits.
My guess is he was recently vaxxed. People are getting the flu and covid shots and it overloads the body.
That’s good for direct payments, so may not show the real payouts.
Direct kickbacks are a felony under the Anti-Kickback Statute—up to $100k fine + 10 years in prison. But Novo Nordisk still finds legal ways to put real money in doctors’ pockets, hence my earlier reply.
I hope he’s ok
I went to the er and they gave me a diagnosis and told me to go to a specialist. It wasn’t a big deal till I got to a specialist who told me he didn’t agree with the er, but there was a new therapy and I was a good candidate. He wanted to implant a device in my back that would solve the problem. Oh, and Medicare may or may not pay for it. He sent me home with all the literature and said he would set it up. I talked to two other Drs who said, did he tell you the device can shift and cause even more problems. Of course not. Wonder how much of a kickback he was getting for each new guinea pig he signed up.
Dr #2. At my yearly physical my personal care physician directed me to a specialist to get injections for by osteoporosis. I filled out a form with all my ailments, including two strokes. She also had to get permission from Medicare. On the form she changed the strokes to TIA’s and added vitamin D deficiency, which was not true. I said but the medication causes bone pain and possibility of strokes. Oh , you can take Tylenol. I said well doesn’t that cause liver disease. She said oh I wouldn’t worry about it. So already she lied to me three times. Are there no honest Drs anymore?
Just think, if this had happened last year, Dr. Jill would have been there to help.
