Floyd County, Iowa | I don't answer if I don't have them in my contacts or they don't have their ID come across. I'm getting up to 25 spam calls daily now, about Medicare insurance, and some of those bots leave a partial message, so I have to check it.
But I'm also doing doctor stuff since my surgery last month. I got a call a few days after my surgery. The caller ID said it was from a town about 70 miles from here, and 50 miles from the hospital, and no name. For some reason I answered it and it was the surgeon calling me to let me know the pathology results (glad he did, the suspense was brutal).
The hospital has an automated call service to remind you that you have an appointment and asks for you to confirm or cancel. The caller ID just says it's from New York. I don't know anyone from there so I just ignored them, until one day I decided to answer and see who it was. The hospital had subscribed to that company to do the service for them.
I just had a call last evening that was tagged as spam. They left a message, so I checked it. It was the doctor's nurse calling to tell me that doc had sent a prescription for me to pick up today.
I'm going to continue on like I have been, hoping that any callers will be like me, and leave a message. I always assume that anyone new that I call will wait to see if I'm legit or spam, so I leave a message.
