Airplane footage captured the moment Dr. Oz stepped in to help a passenger who suffered a medical emergency mid-flight.
TV doctor and former Senate candidate Mehmet Oz, 64, was seen tending to his fellow passenger during his health scare, reports TMZ.
Oz was in action for about an hour on Friday during a flight from New York City to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
It’s not the first time Oz has saved members of the public while traveling, as he saved someone’s life in 2021 when he used a defibrillator to boost a man’s heart at Newark Airport.
Dr. Oz was seen in action aboard a flight from New York City to Cabo San Lucas on Friday, and said he assessed a man who fell in and out of consciousness during the trip.
After Friday’s exploits, Oz told TMZ he was on his way to a wedding when he heard flight attendants calling through the plane asking if anyone on board was a medic.
The unwell pilot reportedly fell in and out of consciousness during the journey.
Oz said he treated a “healthy middle-aged man” and “did the usual triage with physical examination and vital signs.”
“After oxygen, OJ and time, he has recovered and is due for a detailed examination with his local doctor,” Oz added.
He said the orange juice was in case the passenger fainted due to low blood sugar, explaining that “oxygen is the best medicine we ever use.”
Witnesses told the outlet that Oz gave the passenger his phone number in case he needed it after they landed, but the doctor said the man seemed fine.
The heroics come three years after Dr. Oz also saved a man’s life at Newark Airport (pictured)
The heroics come three years after Oz stunned witnesses at Newark Airport when he saved a man’s life as he collapsed at the baggage claim.
Oz jumped to safety from the man after he reportedly fell flat in the terminal.
The doctor “shocked him back to life as a huge crowd watched,” TMZ reported at the time, after a witness said his daughter called him for help.
In a statement to DailyMail.com at the time of the incident, Oz said he “performed CPR with the assistance of a Newark Port Authority police officer and cleared the man’s airways.”
The doctor reported that the man “turned a terrible color and foam came from his mouth when he began CPR.”
“Luckily Newark Airport had a defibrillator nearby that saved his life,” he said.
“As physicians and as human beings, it is our responsibility to intervene when there is a medical emergency.”
