Default Medical emergency disembarkation from a cruise ship?

I have always wondered how the "system" works when one needs to be disembarked from a cruise ship for emergency treatment or evacuation back home.

We have been on cruises when a passenger has had to be disembarked, but have no idea how subsequent events are coordinated (by whom?).

Over the years we average a couple of cruises per year. We always get the vacation interruption insurance which we have had to use for medical cancellation prior to a cruise. And now that we are old(er) need to know more.

Have you had such an experience? Willing to share with us?
