Confirm which procedure is being discussed
Ask the care team to identify the proposed examination clearly, including whether it is upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscopy), colonoscopy or another procedure. Similar travel arrangements do not mean the clinical preparation is interchangeable.
Request an understandable version
Confirm when instructions will arrive and ask for interpretation or translation if needed. Keep the original alongside any translation so questions can be checked against the provider's wording.
Resolve questions before the visit
- Which questions about medicines or health history should be raised with the clinician?
- Who should be contacted if instructions are missing or unclear?
- Which attendance, consent or companion arrangements need advance confirmation?
- How will changes to the appointment or preparation be communicated?
Keep provider guidance connected to the itinerary
Discuss the appointment, reports and any post-visit instructions before finalizing transport and activities. IntersectionMed does not set fasting, medication, preparation or aftercare rules.
