Florida’s surgeon general saved the day after Sen. Ileana Garcia fainted midway through a press conference by springing into action and catching her before she fell.
The scary scene unfolded Tuesday as Garcia joined Gov. Ron DeSantis and other lawmakers onstage in Miami to discuss plans for statewide a ban on water fluoridation, according to Local10.com.
But midway through her remarks the state senator swallowed hard and suddenly stopped speaking.
“Governor, forgive me, I’ve got to sit down, because I am not feeling well,” she said, before her eyelids dropped and she toppled from her feet.
But waiting in the wings was Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, 46, who leapt from his seat to the stage within moments and caught Garcia before she could crash to the ground.
