He doesn't just play a doctor on TV.
Dr. Mehmet Oz was one of the first reponders to help a British tourist and a cyclist on a busy street in Manhattan on Tuesday morning after a taxi jumped a curb and struck two people.
CNN's Nischelle Turner reports.
Oz's rep says the host was getting ready for a shoot about a block from the accident when he and his team heard emergency vehicles rushing to the scene. By the time they arrived, paramedics were already on the scene assisting the injured tourist.
The famous surgeon was quick to try to divert the attention to another Good Samaritan who also jumped in to help.
"David Justino, a plumber from New York, took action, removing his belt and using it as a tourniquet," Oz said in a Facebook post. "My prayers are with the victim for a speedy recovery." He posted a photo of himself and Justino to the site.
According to New York City police, the British tourist was struck by the car and her right leg was severed above her foot and below the knee. She was sent to Bellevue Hospital where she's undergoing surgery to try to reattach her right leg.

Roy Middleton says Escambia County, Florida, police shot him fifteen times while he was in his driveway and handcuffed him while he thought he was dying. CNN's Nick Valencia interviewed the sixty-year-old about the ordeal.
Sheriff David Morgan claims a witness suspected Middleton was involved in a car burglary. He says as the officers approached the man, the older gentleman made "hurky jerky" movements and lunged at the officers."
Middleton denies that version of events.
"Why would I lunge at someone halfway down my driveway? How I'm going to lunge at them? With what? I was getting ready to do what they asked me. Raise my hands, and I got shot during that."

If you've got a sweet tooth for Oreos than this story is for you. CNN's Michaela Pereira got the scoop on the 'stuf.'
Dan Anderson, a high school math teacher in upstate New York, assigned his students to find out just how much cream filling is in the Double and Mega Stuf Oreos.
Those scholarly kids discovered the black-and -white cookies that we love so much are not all they're stuffed up to be.
According to their calculations, the Double Stuf was only 1.86 times the size of regular Oreos while the Mega Oreos were 2.68 times the original.
