Narrative:
Flying pilot; first officer returned to the flight deck after his break; and took his seat for landing. He immediately complained of nausea and dizziness; wondering if he had food poisoning from food he recently consumed. Within a few minutes he asked the relief pilot to take his flying seat due to his dizziness and nausea. The first officer then replaced him. I authorized the first officer to continue flying; and he made an uneventful; normal approach and landing. I ensured the first officer was buckled in; and ready to land. I asked him several times if he was ok; and he assured me he was. However he did not look so well and I advised him to use oxygen. He refused. He seemed ok after landing; but as I was packing up to leave the flight deck; he seemed to deteriorate quite rapidly. I called operations to request medical assistance; and several flight attendants came to help. He was completely unconscious by now. They gave him oxygen and applied the aed; no shock but very low/no pulse. Fire dept emts came; treated him and took him to the hospital. Based on his complaints; and my observations I believe he experienced a stroke. Fas were very helpful possibly saving his life with their quick action. Aircraft control was never jeopardized; approach and landing were normal as possible under the conditions.

He immediately complained of nausea and dizziness; wondering if he had food poisoning from food he recently consumed. Within a few minutes he asked the relief pilot to take his flying seat due to his dizziness and nausea. The FO then replaced him. I authorized the FO to continue flying; and he made an uneventful; normal approach and landing. I ensured the FO was buckled in; and ready to land. I asked him several times if he was OK; and he assured me he was. However he did not look so well and I advised him to use oxygen. He refused. He seemed OK after landing; but as I was packing up to leave the flight deck; he seemed to deteriorate quite rapidly.
