In an era of managed care, when the bond between doctors and patients is more important than ever, Medical Mutual Liability Insurance Society of Maryland works to make it possible for the physicians of Maryland to continue putting patients first. The Society encourages doctors to practice the art, as well as the science, of medicine. This annual report recognizes policyholders, physicians who hold fast to the best values of medicine, whose practice is at the very heart of medicine, through vintage photographs juxtaposed with modern instruments, and disquieting accounts about the inherent risks physicians face.
