                                    RISK FACTORS

Financial Performance of Doctors Health

     Doctors Health has a limited operating history and for the fiscal year 
ended June 30, 1997 and the six months ended December 31, 1997, recorded a 
net loss of approximately $14.8 million and $8 million, respectively.  
Doctors Health is likely to record a net loss for the fiscal year ending June 
30, 1998.  There can be no assurance that Doctors Health will earn operating 
profits after completion of  this transaction.

Risk Factors set forth in the Prospectus dated January 25, 1998

     The Risk Factors set forth in the Prospectus are incorporated herein by 
reference and should be read carefully by investors.

PROPOSED OPTION AGREEMENT AMONG DOCTORS HEALTH AND NORMAN MARCUS

     The following description of the transactions contemplated by the Option 
Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by 
reference to the Option Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this 
Prospectus Supplement as Annex A and is incorporated herein.  Physician is 
urged to read the Option Agreement in its entirety.

Vesting

     The Option is immediately exercisable unless the Option has earlier 
terminated pursuant to the provisions of the Option Agreement.

General

     Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Doctors Health has granted to 
Physician an option to purchase 9,880 shares of Doctors Health Class B Common 
Stock for an exercise price of $10.00 per share.

Termination

     Options granted to Physician shall terminate with respect to any shares 
of Class B Common Stock as to which the Option has not been exercised 
effective on the date Physician is no longer employed by Doctors Health or an 
affiliate of Doctors Health for any reason other than Physician's death or 
Disability (as defined in Physician's employment agreement with Doctors 
Health dated February 28, 1997).

Tax Liability Advance

     The Physician and Doctors Health understand that issuance of the Option 
is not a taxable event.  However, because the Internal Revenue Service may 
take a different view, the Option Agreement provides that Doctors Health 
shall advance the Physician sufficient funds (the "Advance") to pay any 
federal income tax liability (the "Tax") caused by the issuance of the Option 
if the Internal Revenue Service determines that the Physician received 
taxable income solely because of the grant of the Option with an Option Price 
discounted from the fair market value of the Class B Common Stock. Doctors 
Health's obligation shall apply only if such Tax is incurred at a time when 
Physician's shares of DH Common Stock are not registered under Section 12 of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Physician agrees to 
cooperate fully with Doctors Health to avoid the institution of any tax on 
the grant of the Option. Doctors Health shall manage, 

                                         S-2

<PAGE>


at its expense, all negotiations, proceedings or litigation deemed necessary 
by Doctors Health to avoid such tax liability.  Physician shall repay the 
Advance and accrued interest at the applicable federal rate for mid-term 
investments, on the earlier to occur of (i) termination of Physician's 
employment; (ii) a sale of all or a portion of such shares to a third party; 
or (iii) within thirty days following the completion of a public offering of 
DH's securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 which includes Physician's shares.  Physician shall grant Doctors Health 
a security interest in the shares to secure repayment of the Advance.

                     RESALE OF OPTION AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK

     The Option and the Shares offered by this Prospectus Supplement have 
been registered under the Securities Act.  The shares issuable upon exercise 
of the Option will be subject to the Stockholders Agreement attached hereto 
as Annex B and therefore, will not be freely transferable.  The Option is 
nontransferable.  In addition, there is no public market for the Option or 
the Class B Common Stock.

                                   LEGAL MATTERS

adjusted number of Options at such adjusted Option Price as may be

                                EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

          Section 3.1  Exercisability of Options.  The Options shall be 
exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after the date hereof 
unless the Options have earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this 
Option Agreement. The Option may not be exercised unless such action or 
consent as may be required by federal or state law relating to the issuance 
or distribution of securities shall have been taken or obtained.

          Section 3.2  Manner of Exercise.  The Options may be exercised, in 
whole or in part, by delivering written notice of exercise to DH in such form 
as DH may require from time to time. Such notice shall specify the number of 
Options being exercised, and shall be accompanied by full payment of the 
Aggregate Option Price. In addition, such notice shall be accompanied by (i) 
a written acknowledgment of the restrictions on the transferability of the 
shares of Class B Common Stock executed in the form of the letter attached

promptly to DH the aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the 
Option Price and any withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection 
with the exercise, and (ii) to DH to deliver the certificates for such 
purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm.  The Options may be 
exercised only in multiples of whole shares of Class B Common Stock and no 
partial shares shall be issued.

Price, DH shall issue to Optionee the number of shares of Class B Common 
Stock equal to the number of Options being exercised and for which payment 
was received, in the form of fully paid and non-assessable Class B Common 
Stock.

          Section 3.4  Reservation of Shares.  DH shall at all times reserve 
and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of Options a number of its 
authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock that will be

                               TERMINATION OF OPTIONS

          Section 4.1  Upon Optionee's Death.  Unless such Options are 
earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Option Agreement, upon 
Optionee's death Optionee's executor, personal representative or the person 
to whom the Options shall have been transferred by will or the laws of 
descent and distribution, as the case may be, may exercise all or any part of 
the Options not previously exercised, provided such exercise occurs within 
twelve (12) months after the date Optionee dies, but not later than the end 
of the stated term of the Option and, provided further, that such person 
executes a Stockholders Agreement in such form as DH may prescribe.

          Section 4.2  Termination of Employment For Reason Other Than Death 
or Disability.  Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this 
Option Agreement, Options granted to Optionee shall terminate with respect to 
any shares of Class B Common Stock as to which the Option has not been 
exercised, as of the date Optionee is no longer employed by either DH or an 
Affiliate for any reason other than Optionee's death or Disability (as such 
term is defined in the Employment Agreement).

          Section 4.3  Termination of Employment By Reason of Disability.  
Unless the Options have earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this 
Option Agreement, in the event that Optionee ceases to be an employee of DH 
or an Affiliate by reason of Disability, Options that have not yet been 
exercised may be exercised in whole or in part at any time on or after the 
date of Disability, but not later than the end of the stated term of the 
Option or as otherwise provided by the provisions of Section 4.1 of this 
Option Agreement.

                                     ARTICLE 5
                                    ADJUSTMENTS

          Section 5.1  Adjustment of Number of Options; Option Price.  
Subject to the provisions of this Article 5, the Option Price shall be 
subject to adjustment as follows:

               (a)  In the event any change is made to the Class B Common 
Stock (whether by reason of (i) a merger, consolidation, reorganization or 
recapitalization of DH or (ii) a stock dividend, stock split, combination of 
shares, exchange of shares or other change in capital structure of DH 
effected without receipt of consideration), then, appropriate adjustments 
shall be made to the number of shares and Option Price of the Class B Common 
Stock subject to the Options.

               (b)  If DH is the surviving entity in any merger or other 
business combination then the Options outstanding immediately after such 
merger or other business combination, shall be appropriately adjusted to 
apply and pertain to the number and class of securities that would be 
issuable to the Optionee in the consummation of such merger or business 
combination if the Options were exercised immediately prior to such merger or 
business combination, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the 
Option Price.

                                     ARTICLE 6
                                   MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 6.1  No Rights of Stockholder.  Optionee shall not have any 
of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Class B Common 
Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the Options until such shares 
of Class B Common Stock have been issued to Optionee upon the due exercise of 
the Options.

          Section 6.2  Nontransferability of Option.  The Option shall be 
nontransferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and 
distribution. During the lifetime of Optionee, the Options may be exercised 
only by Optionee or, during the period Optionee is under a legal disability, 
by Optionee's guardian or legal representative.

          Section 6.3 Non-Guarantee of Employment.  Nothing in the Offering, 
the Employment Agreement or this Option Agreement shall be construed as a 
contract of employment between DH (or an Affiliate) and Optionee, or as a 
contractual right of Optionee to continue in the employ of DH or an 
Affiliate, or as a limitation of the right of DH or an Affiliate to discharge 
Optionee at any time.

right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any kind

Optionee the amount of any federal, state or local taxes required by law to 
be withheld as the result of the exercise of the Option or the disposition of 
shares of Class B Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the 
Option.  In lieu of such deduction, DH may require Optionee to make a cash 
payment to DH or an Affiliate equal to the amount required to be withheld. If 
Optionee does not make such payment when requested, DH may refuse to issue 
any Class B Common Stock certificate until arrangements satisfactory to the 
Company for such payment have been made.

          Section 6.5  Agreement 
Subject to Charter and By-Laws.  This Agreement is subject to the Charter and 
By-Laws of DH, and any applicable federal or state laws, rules or regulations.

Affiliate, or to DH for the attention of its Secretary at its principal 
office.

contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject 
matter contained herein and may not be modified, except in a written document 
signed by each of the parties hereto.

          Section 6.9  Counterparts.  This Option Agreement may be executed 
simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to 
be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same 
instrument.

          Section 6.10  Governing Law.  This Option Agreement shall be 
governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Maryland without 
regard to conflicts of law.
