Dr. Zieve started out his medical career affiliated with what was then Baltimore City Hospitals. He served as chief of the municipal hospital’s hematology division and later became the chair of its department of medicine and chief of its professional staff, according to the article.
Then in the 1980s, he and a colleague helped to work out an agreement to save Baltimore City Hospitals by linking it with Johns Hopkins, which ultimately took over managing the institution, reports The Baltimore Sun.
Dr. Zieve most recently served as chief of medicine at Bayview.
“In his years as chief of medicine at Bayview, he built that institution. And for all his skill and accomplishment, he was a humble and unassuming person,” Baltimore attorney Arnold Weiner told The Baltimore Sun. “He was a dear friend and the smartest person I have ever known.”
