A friend of mine lives completely alone far from home. if he gets into a medical emergency, what should he do and what steps should he take?

Call 911: If someone is alone and has an emergency they should call 911 and stay on the line until help is there. Having a medical history card so that the squad/ER can get health/emergency contact info from them in case they aren't able to give the information themselves when they arrive helps too. It needs to have medical problems, meds, allergies, prior surgeries and emergency contact information.
