If you did get fired over that, that isn’t a place you want to work at

Don't send a meeting invite, but communicate you will be unavailable and block your calendar not just for the appointment time, but any travel/waiting time you need too.

I’m at the doctor now, didn’t tell anyone but I’m easily reachable via mobile.

I over communicate, a simple calendar event saying you’ll be offline from 3-5 on Friday for the doctors is more than enough. Most people should be wrapping anyways
Don’t think you should be fired either way but I usually just send a OOP invite on their calendar to give them a heads up
Is your manager in the same time zone as you? Do you get 4pm Friday meetings in general?
I'm in east and my manager is in west, so my 4pm is his 1pm and very much working time.
It didn't hurt to send a calendar invite, make sure you set the time block empty for his calendar.
I block my calendar, mark my Slack status as unavailable and communicate with the lead that I’ll be OOO for the designated time.
