Narrative:

The 75 yr old passenger was passed out, no medical history, blood pressure ok (140 over 90), pulse 64. Administered oxygen. He only ate 1 piece of melon that morning and had nothing off the airplane. We couldn't have prevented it and it was handled very well. He continued to be sick. We landed the plane in chicago and deplaned the passenger so he could get further medical help.
