LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Tennessee nurse who braved the Australian Outback to win the second "Survivor" competition barely made a plane trip to Los Angeles.
After taking a prescribed sleeping pill, Tina Wesson passed out Tuesday before a plane from New York left the ground.
Wesson, 40, was traveling cross-country to appear Tuesday night on CBS' "The Late Late Show" with Craig Kilborn.
"I'm not good at taking medication, I never take any, so when I took it I was so exhausted that I completely passed out into the aisle," Wesson said. "When I came to, they brought a doctor in and everything to check my blood pressure, my pulse and all that stuff."
Kilborn joked that Wesson, who won the television show's $1 million prize last week, "should take a train home."
