Dr. Mehmet Oz rushed to help after a woman collapsed during President Donald Trump's speech in Kentucky on Wednesday.

About halfway through Trump's remarks at Verst Logistics in Hebron, Kentucky, an elderly woman behind the president's elevator appeared to be in need of medical attention, prompting Trump to ask the crowd: “Do we have a doctor in the house? Please take your time.”

A medical team quickly contacted her, including Dr. Oz, administrator of services for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

“First responders are incredible,” Trump said as he turned and watched emergency medical personnel tend to the woman.

The president paused his remarks and asked if a song could be played in the meantime.

“Do you think the people backstage are listening to me?” Trump said, adding that if they could hear him, he suggested they play “Ave Maria.”

The song did not play and Trump continued to watch as the woman received treatment.

“Take your time,” he said. “She looks great.”

As first responders began escorting the woman, Trump noticed that Oz was among those helping her.

“It's Dr. Oz! Can you believe it? Dr. Oz!” Trump said. “He's a good doctor. Thank you, Oz.”

Trump resumed his remarks about seven minutes later, again criticizing California Governor Gavin Newsom.

“We were talking about Gavin New-slag,” Trump said, laughing. “It doesn't seem like a very good topic right now. It made that young lady feel not so good.”

Wednesday's event was not the first time Oz, a former heart surgeon, helped during a medical episode while serving in the Trump administration.

In April, a young woman fainted near the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office while Trump was speaking during Oz's swearing-in ceremony.

Oz quickly rushed to help the boy, who was later confirmed to be a member of his family.

In November, a man collapsed in the Oval Office while Trump was holding a press conference, prompting Oz to once again step in to help.
