    We also use surgery as you would use clinic. Hence we see our family doctor at the doctor’s surgery.

    When you go to see your representative in parliament, it’s a similar set-up, so they also get called surgeries.

      Yup, thank you again. I’d gathered from the article that it was likely a sort of political consultation but even looking in a dictionary didn’t exactly clear it up.
