“Over the weekend #WTES responded to a serious MVA on the NJTP. The crew on #Squad2723 arrived on location and found a Doctor triaging (assessing) the patients. Dr. Oz was not involved in the accident but stopped and gave care to the patients until emergency crews arrived to treat and transport the patients to the hospital...Dr. Mehmet Oz we thank you!”
Oz has come to the aid of injured people before. In 2013, Oz assisted emergency responders when a taxi jumped a curb and struck a pedestrian near his New York TV studio, according to app.com.
