Dividing and Multiplying: The Epworth Empire
Epworth HealthCare, for those unfamiliar, is Victoria's largest not-for-profit private hospital group. That's a fancy way of saying they've got a bunch of hospitals scattered around Melbourne, like medical mushrooms after a spring rain. But just how many are we talking about?
Here's the not-so-shocking twist: There are 10 main Epworth locations gracing the Melbourne landscape. That's right, 10! From Brighton to Box Hill, Epworth has seemingly staked its claim across the city.
Now, some might say that's excessive. "Is there really a need for that many Epworth Hospitals?" they might cry. Well, to them we say: have you ever gotten hangry after a tram ride and needed an immediate appendicitis surgery? Just sayin', options are good.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
Freemasons on the Move: A Tale of Two Sites
Now, things get a little interesting with Epworth Freemasons. This particular Epworth boasts not one, but two locations in East Melbourne. Seems the Freemasons couldn't decide on a single stellar spot for their medical needs. Maybe they like options too?
So, to be super clear, that's 10 locations, with Epworth Freemasons counting as a single entity despite its two sites.
Epworth Everywhere: A Survival Guide (Not Really)
So, how do you avoid a hospital encounter on your Melbourne adventure? Well, that's a tricky one. Here are some, shall we say, unconventional tips (please don't take these seriously):
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
- Develop an aversion to trams: Less tram rides, less hangry episodes, less appendicitis (supposedly).
- Invest in a bubble helmet: Germs are bad, folks. Keep that dome squeaky clean.
- Befriend a local magpie: These territorial birds will surely chase away any potential medical emergencies. (Disclaimer: this is a joke, please don't anger the magpies).
In all seriousness, Epworth Hospitals are there for a reason, and their presence is a good thing!
