Winthrop-University Hospital: "HORRENDOUS HOSPITAL.Dont EVER EVER bring your loves here. They literally kill people. I brought my dad in, he was conscious and in two days he was dead. I personally was there in 2012 and they almost killed me. All they know what to do is intubate people. They have no good doctors here. It seems that they have too many interns. They show no compassion. This HOSPITAL should be shut down immediately. " - Miriam

Winthrop-University Hospital: " AVOID THIS HOSPITAL
This hospital has gone downhill extremely fast over the last few years. They are dangerously understaffed and overworked. You can't find out which doctor/resident/intern is responsible for a patient. Interns rather than doctors seem to be running the asylum. Nurses don't seem to know what medications should be administered, when they have been administered, if they have been administered or when they will be administered. Doctors/residents/interns do not return phone calls, and if by some miracle they do, they do not leave their name and you can't understand a word they have said." - Joe
