... surgery appointment? This guy is a politician, right? Not a surgeon? Can someone explain?

  It's a political term in the UK to refer to meetings with constituents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgery_(politics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgery_(politics)

    Shame they don't have dental appointments. :)

  Not that it applies in this case, but a person can be both. Depending on the office, politics can be a very part-time occupation.

    There are several UK MPs who are former or indeed currently practicing doctors.
