Execution doctors: An article in the May 21 Section A about doctors’ involvement in executions said Dr. Alan Doerhoff had assisted with Missouri executions for more than 50 years. He has been involved in more than 50 executions, not executions over 50 years. Also, the article said that Ohio death row inmate Dennis McGuire, executed on Jan. 16, complained, “I feel my whole body burning.” It was Oklahoma death row inmate Michael Wilson, executed in Oklahoma on Jan. 9, who said that.

Hospital guidelines: An article in the May 21 LATExtra section about a group of hospitals setting guidelines for how to tell patients about end of life care did not identify one of the hospitals involved. Huntington Hospital in Pasadena is also endorsing the recommendations.

Brazil unrest: An article in the May 18 Section A about labor protests in Brazil only weeks before the start of the World Cup soccer tournament said the U.S. national soccer team is scheduled to play Germany on June 28. The game is scheduled for June 26.
