It hardly happens these days due to mobile phones.
However, it happened to me once at The Swamp when my ex was hit by a coin thrown by some socially inadequate inbred with learning difficulties in the K Stand. I was in the Main Stand - she'd opted to stand in the Scoreboard before you ask - and had to go to the first aid room. By the time I got there she'd been carted off to the MRI. I had to get a taxi over there. Made sure I got a refund off the red b@st@rds but, rather too conveniently, they had no CCTV footage. Trust me, there's nothing more embarrassing than hearing your name broadcast around that shithole.
On another occasion I heard a broadcast for a Mr Thomson in the North Stand to contact the chief steward at half-time. Afterwards I asked my mate Tomo what it was all about. He said it wasn't him, but he had gone out at half-time to see and there were half a dozen other Mr Thomsons waiting!
