A doctor being interviewed on a popular television show in Turkey suffered a series of heart attack live on the air Tuesday.
Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News website posted video of the program “Healthy Living” featuring Dr. Ugur Yansel, an orthopedist and professor, who was talking about flat feet in children when he felt a jolt in his chest.
After the first pain struck him, the doctor — reported to be in his late 50s — said he thought he was having a problem with his pacemaker.

"Are you feeling well, professor?" the host asked, suggesting he have some water.
Yansel took a sip and then the pain struck again, sending him into the backrest of the couch with the intensity, his left hand reaching for his chest.

"It's time to take care of our doctor now, and the commercials," she said, according to Hurriyet.
