If I'm in or near the home then I follow globemaster3's plan:

If I'm in the fields or woodlot then I'll use my cell to call my spouse, brother or Dad, then 911. It is doubtful LEO would know where to find/help me when I'm afield.

Obviously I'm rural...usually the neighbor or family is the quicker response than either LEO or paramedic.

I've had to use CPR, bandage someone stepped on by a full shod draft horse, shoot a rabid fox, shoot a feral dog, and use the Stihl to clear the roadway of a 100+ year-old maple tree. You just have to be prepared and willing to help at a moments notice around our bend in the crick.
