What happens during a medical emergency w no child care?

Genuinely curious, my partner works out of town frequently and I have diseases that land me in the hospital usually around once a year, sometimes twice, though there were times where it was more.

Last year was ok, but the first year I was in the hospital twice, thankfully when my partner was home. But if he wasn’t, and I was that incapacitated, and no one could come help me, wtf happens next? I worry most about something happening in the middle of the night and no one getting my call. Can the hospital help with that? And if I can’t drive myself home after that, what happens next?

Has this ever happened to anyone before? 😬 Everytime he leaves town I feel scared and worried about it.
