Hi sudie,
Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. I hope your trip went okay with no blockages.
Just in case anyone is reading this at a later date, St Vincents and the Royal Melbourne are the two public hospitals with emergency depts close to Melbourne city (both are just on the edge of the CBD).
Cheers,
Sarah

FWIW, I was in Melbourne with a 'bag' emergency, ie. couldn't get them to stick and ran out on a Sunday. Long story short, couldn't get them anywhere so rang the gastro unit at Royal Melbourne. They said just come in and gave me a box of (concave) bags which worked a treat. As noted, they also have a 24 hour emergency department (parking is expensive though)...
You could ring them up and get the number of the gastro resident on call. I have that for RPAH in Sydney (I'm in Canberra and just had reversal Wednesday) so needed a number in case the proverbial hit the fan over the weekend. I'm sure RMH would have a similar on-call service.
