#1 Declare an emergency
#2 Coordinate with ATC and dispatch to get into the nearest airport that I CAN land at.

I wouldn't attempt the approach since it's not legal under 121 (which I'm assuming we're operating under), and I don't want to risk my life and the lives of the other passengers on a risky approach to mins.

Ditto, except for the part on legalities. Who care if you're legal. You declared an emergency and need to get on the ground to save this guy life. If you can do it safely, do it.
