I actually prefer Winthrop University over some of the other LI hospitals. LIJ was the worst. My dad was there for knee surgery and an infection. The doctor that took care of him and the other guy in his room went to examine my father's knee without washing his hands and changing his gloves. My dad put a stop to that. I also thought the rooms were dirty at LIJ. Franklin General, south Nassau and mercy aren't much better IMO. I was an EMT for 10 years and If it were up to me the patients would go to Winthrop. But our jurisdiction only allowed us to go to Franklin General, south Nassau and mercy .
