If he were to take ill and you would need to take him to a vet you could scoop him out of his house with gloves on if needed.
I'd take the roof off and wait till he's awake then try and tempt him out and into a mug with a treat first but if that doesn't work i'd lift him out.

Vet visits and administration of medications are emergency type of situations that need to be dealt with without delay because they are in the best interest of the hamster.
