@grannyzoo I can see how a call like that may set off a red flag to you and have you thinking that maybe they are prepared for your procedure. I think what @centre has shared is good perspective to consider. Alongside that, I would also offer that I would much prefer any medical organization contacting me to confirm so we are on the same page versus having something unexpected happen.

If you still have concerns, I would encourage you to reach out to The Office of Patient Experience at 507-284-4988. Staff are available to discuss comments or concerns you may have regarding your medical care or privacy at Mayo Clinic.
