SUMMARY: As Election Day approaches in one week, Mississippi’s Secretary of State Michael Watson discusses the preparation for the November 5 presidential election. He praised local officials for their efforts but noted that absentee voting is on the rise, with approximately 20,000 less than in 2020, though he expects numbers to exceed last year’s totals. Watson emphasizes the safety of in-person voting while acknowledging the benefits of absentee ballots for convenience. He addresses concerns about voter fraud, confirming it exists but is not widespread. Additionally, a recent court ruling regarding mail-in ballots will not affect the upcoming election.

SUMMARY: A new app called “My Doc Said” has been developed in Mississippi to help patients keep track of vital medical information. Dr. Theodore, a cardiac surgeon with nearly 40 years of experience, noted that patients often forget 90% of their doctor conversations due to anxiety and stress. The app allows users to record and transcribe conversations with healthcare providers, summarizing the information into bullet points for easier understanding. It also provides credible resources to explain medical jargon. The app is available on Google Play and iOS, offers a free month, and includes secure login features for data protection.

With our lives getting busier each day, it can get difficult to remember valuable information like medical records, but a new phone app helps with that.
