You could call 911 who would most likely redirect you to the Coast Guard or contact them directly by radio and from there depending on how severe the situation is and what body of water you're on, they could either come by boat or helicopter you out to the nearest medical facility.

How do you get emergency medical assistance on a wilderness camping trip?

wIt really depends where you are going and what you are taking with you. The best way is obviously by phone or radio so I would recommend bringing a mobile with you (bare in mind you may not always get signal). If you are properly in the wilderness then it is a certainty to bring a gps otherwise the. Medical services will have no idea where you are. Smoke signals can also be used but I wouldn't recommend this if it is emergency assistance. Small signalling mirrors can be useful to signal to aircraft (e.g. An air ambulance). Perhaps you could use a distress flair if you had to.
