0Dr. Oz rushed to help pa.ssenger who collapsed on his flight.
Dr. Mehmet Oz sprang into action Wednesday night when a passenger on his flight from New York to Las Vegas collapsed.
“I was grabbed by a stewardess on the plane after a 30-year-old guy collapsed,” he told Page Six on Thursday. “I got him to lie on his back and [put] his feet up on the emergency doors, and with that I began to get a reasonable pulse and blood pressure.”
The host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” who was on his way to the Consumer Electronics Show, then used electrode pads from the plane’s Automated External Defibrillator to create a makeshift EKG test.
“I couldn’t tell if he was having a heart attack or not,” Oz said. “His blood pressure was really low but his heart rate was really high.”
