We all experience stress at one point or another, and it can really take a toll on both our physical and mental well-being. As such, this story is a reminder to all of us to pace ourselves and be mindful of our own limits – and to always reach out for help when needed.

An example of being pushed past one’s limits happened during a recent interview on the Nine Network's morning show Today. The interviewee, defence and international relations expert Malcolm Davis was being interviewed about Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s visit to China.

However, Dr Davis soon began to feel very unwell during the conversation and suddenly made a startling admission.

'Oh … I think I’m going to pass out … sorry,' he said during the interview.

Clearly distressed, the camera cut quickly away from Dr Davis, who had been analysing the trip's potential positive outcomes, including the possible easing of trade sanctions and the release of Australians detained in China.

As soon as he started to feel dizzy, defence expert Malcolm Davis had to end the Today show interview on Nine. Credit: Nine.

Today host Christine Ahern was very understanding and responsive to the situation, immediately cutting away from the footage of Senator Wong and ending the segment.

'That’s OK Malcolm, we’re going to leave you now,' she said.

'Malcolm’s having some problems there, and we obviously wish him the best, and we will keep updated with Malcolm to check on his condition throughout the morning.'

Before the shocking incident occurred, Dr Davis had given a few pointers about the trip, noting that the trip could result in some fruitful outcomes.

'But I think we should temper expectations and realise that the major issues that are causing tensions still remain unresolved,' he cautioned.

Key Takeaways

• On Tuesday morning, a guest appeared on Today and suffered a medical episode on-air.
• Defence and international relations expert, Dr Malcolm Davis, was on the show to discuss Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s visit to China when the episode occurred.
• Before the episode, Dr Davis had stated that Senator Wong’s trip to Beijing could potentially result in positive diplomatic outcomes.
• Today host Christine Ahern ended the segment and expressed her concern for Dr Davis’ well-being.

We here at the SDC wish him the best in his recovery and hope that he will be able to appear in future TV interviews without any further health complications.

And just a friendly reminder for all our members out there: if you don't feel okay, don't fight through it. It's not worth the risk!

Let's take this opportunity to check in with ourselves. Stress can do a lot of damage if we don’t express it healthily.

Talk to your family, friends, and GP if you need to – never bottle up your emotions. Our mental health should always stay at the top of our priority list.
