Dear Doctors: If it’s true that, according to a 2024 study, there are some 200,000 deaths (amazingly!) each year from medical errors in the United States, might AI be used to reduce them? I’ve read it can help with ventilator mishandling, patient instruction omissions and detecting diagnostic oversights.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I recently welcomed my adult son into my home. I didn’t know him as he was growing up; I learned about him when he was already 18, and since then we’ve stayed in touch through visits, calls and texts. When his mother passed away, he asked to move in with me. My wife and daughters supported the decision, and he’s been living with us for about a year now. He’s 25, has a steady job and is even considering school, which I’m proud of.

Funeral services for Eva Lee Stewart, 96, of Clinton, are pending.

Albert Herbert Korfman was born January 8, 1930 to Fred and Clara (Matthes) Korfman at the family home near Anthon, Oklahoma. Albert attended Anthon schools the first 8 years and then moved in with his sister Eva and her husband D.H. and attended school at Arapaho for one year. He eventually moved back home to help his mother with the farming until he started working at various jobs in Clinton. He worked as a dishwasher, helped deliver furniture, drove the school bus for Independence Schools and worked at a produce warehouse. He met his future wife Anna Barber through a mutual friend Wayne Dickerson (he was dating Anna’s sister Nathlyn). Their first date was a trip to the state fair. They got married April 2, 1950. Of that marriage three children were born, Sheryl Carver of Guymon, Ok; Larry Korfman of Weatherford, OK and Alberta Bentley of Edmond, OK. They were married 43 years until her passing in May of 1993.
