Donald Trump's press conference on Thursday, November 6, abruptly ended in chaos after a man collapsed to the ground in the middle of a discussion about weight loss drugs.

Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks had taken the podium to explain a deal his company signed with the Trump Administration to lower the price of weight-loss medication when Novo Nordisk executive Gordon Findlay suffered a frightening medical emergency mid-livestream.

The press conference was taking place inside of the Oval Office at the White House when the incident occurred.

Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks was speaking when an executive needed medical attention.

In a video of the press conference shared to the White House's website, Ricks could be seen pausing his speech after noticing Findlay had started to sway and was about to fall, prompting Dr. Mehmet Oz — Trump's administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — to immediately rush over and help catch the man before he hit the ground.

Amid chaos, Trump could be seen jumping out of his chair before standing still and watching others help Findlay seek medical attention.

A man fainted during an Oval Office press conference.

Once Findlay was taken care of and members of the press were brought back into the Oval Office, Trump explained what happened before instructing Ricks to pick up where he left off.

"One of the representatives of one of the companies got a little lightheaded and so they went down, and he’s fine," the president of the United States revealed. “He’s got doctor’s care, but he’s fine. So we had a little bit of an interruption. Sorry for that.”

Dr. Mehmet Oz's 11-year-old granddaughter fainted inside of the Oval Office in April.

Oddly enough, a similar situation involving Dr. Oz and Trump occurred inside of the Oval Office earlier this year.

Back in April, Dr. Oz was being sworn in by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. when his 11-year-old granddaughter, Philomena, fainted in the middle of the ceremony.
