In 1990 the Soviet people and the NCMIC policyholders will, for the first time in their respective histories, be offered a choice in their elections. This landmark event was accomplished last year when the policyholders rejected the candidates "chosen" for them by the existing board.
This is not the only benefit achieved by the policyholders last year (for an additional look at the changes and future of NCMIC, please see the article on page 12). The increase of policyholders who voted (an increase of over 70%) and their choice of write-in candidates, sent a message that has begun a transformation of the company.
This year, there were two methods available for nomination: by the board of directors or by the policyholders. In order for a policyholder to seek nomination "by the policyholders," that individual needed a mere 50 letters from other policyholders nominating him or her for that position.
Your ballot will be arriving very soon. Please take the time to read the interviews with the four nominees and their endorsements. In some ways this election is even more important than last year. The policyholders must choose the two individuals best qualified to continue the improvements begun by Drs. Arnold Cianciulli and Charles Cline.
It is time once again to exercise control over YOUR malpractice insurance company!
The addition of two "write-in" candidates has reversed the downward trend of NCMIC voter apathy. As you can readily see, 1989 was a year when the NCMIC policyholders took back control of their malpractice insurance company.
While there may be no “magic bullet” when it comes to health, this should not dissuade patients or practitioners from seeking out ingredients that offer multiple health benefits. When it comes to dietary supplements, there are thousands upon thousands of choices. So, why not choose one that can address pain and assist with mental health? A supplement that can address inflammation, while also preventing certain types of cancer.
This article focuses on nine severe injuries that are generally not diagnosable until the third to fourth week following the date of injury, including how to diagnose these severe injuries. The discovery of any of these injuries early can make a significant difference in the case outcome.
While canes, braces and posts represent extrinsic methods for lessening adductor moment arms, an intrinsic method for lessening the development of medial knee osteoarthritis occurs when the hip abductor musculature and the iliotibial band are strong enough to create a compressive force capable of stabilizing the lateral knee.
