Why this is better

The bibliography entry was already correctly fixed to 'Ahn, H.S., Kim, H.J. & Welch, H.G., Korea's Thyroid-Cancer Epidemic, NEJM 371 (2014): 1765-1767', but two body-text fabrications remained live: (1) the author-order error 'Hershel Jick and Jane Porter' was never fixed to 'Jane Porter and Hershel Jick', and (2) a separate body paragraph still attributed the 2014 thyroid-cancer paper only to 'H. Gilbert Welch and Hyeong Sik Ahn' in the wrong order and missing co-author Ho Jin Kim, inconsistent with the already-correct bibliography entry. Both fixed in body content and verified clean on re-fetch.
