The Rise of the Medical Emergency Pt. 133 - Apr. 13th - Apr. 19th Reports
President Trump can’t seem to shake the fainting masses, this time in the Oval Office instead of at a rally (See Story #1). A couple basketball coaches are laid low, a drummer calls it quits, and an actor is hospitalized. A firefighter dies in the line of duty. Infants and children aren’t spared — not by a long shot. Drivers can’t seem to stay on the road. A pilot dies, but not until after he landed the plane. Thankfully. I suppose. Nurses and children leap to action to save the stricken, but the odd hiker and prisoner are beyond help.
It’s TROME.

‘Dr. Mehmet Oz had just been sworn in as Donald Trump's administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on Friday, April 18, when his 11-year-old granddaughter reportedly suffered a medical incident, bringing remarks by the president to an abrupt end.’
‘In footage of the event, journalists in the audience are seen reacting to the commotion and one of Oz's daughters can be heard seemingly saying, "Philo fainted, Philo fainted. Dad, go!"’
‘Oz went over to check on his granddaughter Philomena, 11, before returning to stand beside the president. Aides quickly ushered reporters and bystanders from the room, saying, "Everybody out!" and telling the press to "get out right now." One aide is heard saying, "No photos."’
‘In a statement to PEOPLE after the incident, a White House spokesperson said, "A minor family member fainted during Dr. Oz’s swearing in ceremony in the Oval Office. We are happy to say she is okay."’
Good thing her Grandad’s a doctor.
Er…
Then again, maybe not.
