😂 IF THE KRESEVICS WERE AN 80s FAMILY…

We may have made a terrible decision.

We took a perfectly respectable Kresevic family photo and asked AI to send them back to the 80s.

And boy, did it commit to the assignment. 😂

Apparently the entire family walked into a shopping centre and said: “We’ll take EVERYTHING in teal, hot pink and purple. Everything.”

The acid-wash jeans.
The Nike high-tops.
The Adidas tracksuit.
The double denim.
The wood panelling.
The brown velour couch that looks like it survived at least three prime ministers.

And THE HAIR.

There is enough hairspray in this photograph to single-handedly explain the hole in the ozone layer. 😂

Dr Anthony has gone from respectable family GP to man who has a mate who can get you a cheap VCR and he knows exactly where his cassette copy of Cold Chisel is.

The boys look like they're three rehearsals away from releasing an album.

Mum has been given a perm powerful enough to affect local weather patterns.

And somehow…

THE DOG GOT SENT BACK TO THE 80s TOO. 🤣

Even they look like they’ve accepted that this is simply how their family dresses now.

But my favourite part?

Nobody looks remotely embarrassed.

And they SHOULDN’T BE.

This wasn’t fashion.

THIS WAS POWER.

Our apologies to the Kresevic family.

Actually, no.

This may be our finest work.

And for everyone who actually survived the 80s — tell us what you wore that you genuinely thought made you look magnificent.

Bonus points for mullets, perms, shoulder pads, leg warmers, hypercolour, double denim or a bum bag worn with absolutely unjustified confidence.

Please enjoy this post while the EFMC page still has an administrator. 😂😂😂

😂 WELCOME TO THE EFMC STAFF KITCHEN: WHERE NUTRITION COMES TO DIE.

We’re a medical centre.
We promote healthy choices.
We encourage a balanced diet.

And then there’s the staff kitchen. 😳😂

🍏 Apples — for accreditation purposes.
🍌 Bananas — so we can technically say there’s fruit.
🍫 Chocolate — essential clinical equipment.
🥔 Pringles — apparently now a food group.
🍪 Mini Oreos — because full-sized Oreos would just be irresponsible.

This is what happens when healthcare workers are expected to remain pleasant, functional and legally employable for an entire shift. 😂

Please don’t judge us.

We know things about nutrition.
We have pamphlets. 🤣

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ A massive shout-out to our fabulous Dr Amin and Dr Mojdeh, who swapped the consult room for the start line and smashed out the 5km at the Port Douglas Marathon over the weekend! 🏅🌴

And would you look at them afterwards — smiling, upright and still capable of taking a selfie. Show-offs. 😂

The rest of the EFMC team would also like it officially recorded that walking to the tea room, discovering there’s no milk and walking back absolutely counts as interval training.

We’re seriously impressed though. Five kilometres voluntarily. On a weekend. When nobody was chasing them. 👏🤣

Congratulations Amin & Mojdeh! We’re very proud of you both. ❤️

Absolutely no medical certificates for sore legs will be issued Monday. 😂 We have your chairs waiting for you. 😂🏅

💙 Today is for the dads, stepdads, grandads, foster dads, dads-to-be, father figures — and all the good men who quietly show up, day after day.

The ones who fix things with varying degrees of success.
Who give advice whether it was requested or not.
Who insist they’re “fine” and definitely do not need to see a doctor. 😏
And who would do absolutely anything for the people they love.

We’re lucky to care for so many wonderful fathers and families in our community — and pretty lucky to have a few great dads amongst this motley crew too. 💚

To those celebrating today, we hope you’re thoroughly spoiled.

And to those for whom Father’s Day is a little complicated, or someone important is missing, we’re thinking of you too.

Happy Father’s Day, from our EFMC family to yours. 💙

With the wet season coming, EFMC has been working on our emergency response plans. 🌧️

We’ve assessed the team’s strengths and quite frankly, we’re doomed. 😂

Debb brings the Dyson and sequins. The building may be underwater, but the floors will be immaculate and she’ll look fabulous.

Bellinda brings her reception stratosphere skills — able to answer a phone, book an appointment, calm someone down, find a missing doctor and glare at a printer simultaneously.

Samantha is in charge of supplies. Nobody knows exactly what she’s stockpiling, but we’ve been told not to touch it.

Boss Man Anthony brings the Band-Aids. He is a doctor, so naturally we’ve given him the most medically advanced role.

And, (not even an employee but a follower) Joanne?

Joanne’s bringing the esky!!😵

Finally. Someone with an actual emergency plan. 🍻😂

We’re also reaching out to this bloke 👇 because he sounds like an absolute hoot and appears perfectly qualified for the operation we’re running here.

EFMC Emergency Response Team:
Questionable skills.
Excellent supplies.
Band-Aids.
Esky packed.
Dyson charged.

Bring on the wet. 😂🌧️🌪️

Apparently Rachael’s first complaint since joining EFMC is that we didn’t AI her welcome photo. 😂

Excuse us, Rach. We thought the original was lovely. Apparently that is no longer the standard around here. 🤣

So, naturally, we fixed our terrible oversight.

Then she casually announced, “I look terrible in white.”

Ma’am.
We have photographic evidence.
That is a LIE. 😂😂

One little AI wardrobe upgrade later and suddenly Rachael looks less “Welcome to EFMC” and more “I’ve just bought EFMC.” 🤣

Honestly, the cream suit. The pose. The confidence. The hand in the pocket. She looks like she’s about to call a staff meeting and announce we’ve exceeded quarterly projections.

Welcome to EFMC, Rachael. 💚
Where even your complaints may be used against you on Facebook. 😂

Remember our slightly unhinged job ad looking for a Chaos Co-ordinator to join reception at EFMC?

The one where we openly admitted that we are a highly successful, incredibly busy General Practice … and that on Mondays we can resemble a medical centre being evacuated during a natural disaster?

Well. You applied. 😳SO MANY OF YOU APPLIED.

And because we asked applicants to tell us the craziest thing they’d ever handled while keeping a straight face, we also learned WAY more about the people of Cairns than we were emotionally prepared for. 😂

There were bodily fluids. There were naked people. There were fights. There were spectacular public meltdowns. There were stories that started normally and then took a turn so violent we had to reread them.

And there were several that made us think: “Excellent. Traumatised but functional. Shortlist.” 😂

But eventually, one résumé landed in front of us. Five years as an A&E receptionist at Blacktown Hospital.

Okay. Impressive. Then we kept reading. Twenty years working in a bar.

STOP THE INTERVIEWS. WE HAVE FOUND HER. 😂😂😂

Please welcome RACHAEL to EFMC! 🎉

Frankly, we're not entirely sure whether we hired Rachael or accidentally recruited someone from the Special Forces of Customer Service.

She has dealt with the sick, the drunk, the angry and with the confused.

Patient upset about the wait? Rachael's fine.

Four phones ringing? Fine.

Someone insisting their mildly itchy elbow is a medical emergency?
Fine.

Doctor mysteriously disappears while six patients are waiting?

Rachael has tracked down drunk people in a pub. We like her chances.

Someone tries to walk straight past reception without checking in?

Please. She has The Eyes. 👀

Welcome to EFMC, Rachael. ❤️

We hope you love it here.

(we're actually a little worried that you might find us boring.)😂

Meet Toby. 🐶❤️

Now, Toby may look like he’s overdue for a little cosmetic work — perhaps an eye lift, some dental, a facial and a solid week at a wellness retreat — but DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE FACE. 😂

This handsome-ish little bloke is currently sitting 8th out of more than 7000 dogs in the Happy Bubbles Pup-Off! 🏆🐾

And there’s a beautiful reason we’d love to help get him to #1.

If Toby wins the $100,000 first prize, his owner (a very well-known and loved Cairns businessman) gifting 100% of the prize money to her sister to help fund treatment for her non-verbal nephew with autism. ❤️

So while Toby might not be winning Australia’s Next Top Model anytime soon, he could win something much more important. 😂❤️

COME ON EFMC FACEBOOK FAMILY — LET’S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO!

👇 VOTE FOR TOBY HERE:
[Vote for Toby in the Happy Bubbles Pup-Off 🐾](https://www.happybubbles.com.au/pup-off/entrants/8410980?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

And make sure you verify your vote — apparently that also puts you in the draw to win $10,000!

8th → 1st. LET’S GO TOBY! 🐶🏆❤️

Toby is competing in the Pup-Off — help them win by voting!

Debb at the practice this morning before we open, doing a quick vacuum… because apparently Practice Manager is just a fancy title for a person who notices everything nobody else does. 😂

In Debb’s head: Red satin. Sequins. Heels.
Waist snatched. Hair perfect.
Just casually gliding through EFMC with the Dyson like she’s filming a Gucci campaign for its Medical Centre Edition. 💃✨

In reality: same red shirt, same vacuum, considerably less supermodel and a strong “I have emails to answer and why is there crap on this floor?” energy. 🤣

The best part is, nobody even asked her to vacuum.

She just saw the floor. 😂😂

Anyway, Photo 1 is how Debb remembers it and we will not be accepting witness statements at this time. 💅

Well… we finally managed to get the EFMC crew together for something that didn’t involve Medicare, accreditation, a roster crisis, someone needing a script, or Debbie yelling “WHO MOVED THIS?!” 😂🥂

This time, it was for something much better — celebrating our gorgeous newlyweds, Dr Amin & Dr Mojdeh. ❤️

There was food. There were drinks. There were presents. There was laughter. There were approximately 47 people talking at once… so basically, a completely normal EFMC gathering, just with nicer clothes. 😂

Amin and Mojdeh came to Cairns, built their lives here and somehow ended up with this slightly unhinged little EFMC family as part of the deal. And while we may spend an unreasonable amount of time taking the mickey out of each other, when it matters, this team turns up.

And we turned up for these two. ❤️

To Amin & Mojdeh — may your marriage be filled with love, laughter, adventure, good health and the patience required to remain associated with all of us.

We absolutely adore you both.

Congratulations to our beautiful newlyweds. 🥂💐❤️

Now, enough emotion. Someone pass the champagne before we ruin our reputation. 😂
