That's great that they make themselves available.

You have no idea how long I've puzzled over the subject line "A.M. Heath Agent Twitter Surgery"--can you explain the meaning of "surgery" in this context? I'm wondering if it might be a UK thing.

Maryn, terribly provincial

I just took the title from the original article, but I can see how it might be confusing! I've changed it now. This side of the pond "surgery" can also mean:

  • [in singular] a period of time during which patients may visit a doctor, dentist, or other medical practitioner for treatment or advice:Doctor Bailey had finished his evening surgery
  • an occasion on which an MP, lawyer, or other professional person gives advice.

Bumping this for anyone who's online and interested. Today from 4-5pm (I think they mean British Summer Time (GMT+1), not GMT as stated in the original article).
