White House guest faints during Trump event in Oval Office

The event paused after a Novo Nordisk company representative fainted during the announcement of weight-loss drug price cuts affecting millions on Medicare and Medicaid.

  • On Thursday, Gordon Findlay, Healthcare Executive of Novo Nordisk, passed out in the Oval Office during a White House event.
  • Dr. Mehmet Oz and nearby aides immediately moved to help the collapsing man as he stumbled forward and was grabbed by two men, including CEO Mike Doustdar and EVP Dave Moore.
  • Novo Nordisk clarified Gordon Findlay was not at the event, a Lilly spokesperson linked the guest to GLP-1 medication, and Karoline Leavitt said he was receiving care.
  • Press were quickly ushered out and the livestream was cut as White House personnel provided medical aid, then coverage resumed with President Donald Trump saying the representative was "lightheaded" and okay.
  • The White House said the deal could reduce out-of-pocket costs for Medicare and Medicaid patients to $50–$350 per month from over $1000, with drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy now around $150 for a month’s supply.
