Airplane footage captured the moment Dr. Oz stepped in to help a passenger suffering a mid-flight medical emergency.
The TV doctor and one-time Senate candidate Mehmet Oz, 64, was seen tending to his fellow passenger during the health scare, reports TMZ.
Oz leapt into action on Friday around an hour into a flight from New York City to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
It is not the first time Oz has saved members of the public while travelling, as he was seen in 2021 saving a someone's life as he used a defibrillator to jump-start a man's heart at Newark Airport.
Dr. Oz was seen leaping into action on board a flight from New York City to Cabo San Lucas on Friday, and said he assessed a man who was falling in and out of consciousness during the journey
After Friday's heroics, Oz told TMZ that he was on his way to a wedding when he heard flight attendants call through the plane asking if anyone on board was a medic.
The unwell flyer was reportedly falling in and out of consciousness during the journey.
Oz said he treated a 'middle-aged healthy man', and 'did usual triage with physical exam and vital signs.'
'After oxygen, OJ and time, he recovered and needs to have a detailed evaluation with his local physician,' Oz added.
He said the orange juice was in case the passenger was fainting due to low blood sugar, and explained that 'oxygen is the best drug we ever use.'
Witnesses told the outlet that Oz handed the passenger his phone number in case he needed it after they landed, but the doctor said the man appeared to be OK.
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 when they collapsed at baggage claim.
Oz sprung to the man's safety after he reportedly flatlined inside the terminal.
The doctor 'shocked him back to life as a huge crowd watched', reported TMZ at the time, after a witness said his daughter called out for him to help.
In a statement to DailyMail.com at the time of the incident, Oz said he 'performed CPR with the help of a Newark Port Authority police officer and cleared the man's airway.'
The doctor reported that the man 'was turning a horrible color and had foam coming out of his mouth when he started doing CPR.'
'Thankfully, Newark Airport had a defibrillator nearby that we were able to use to save his life,' he said.
'As a physician and a human being, it's our responsibility to jump in when there’s a medical emergency.'
