In the HTML version of this paper, Ms. Goddu was incorrectly listed. The correct citation should be AP Goddu.

In the abstract, several results were not updated to match the manuscript. ​The correct values for the abstract are: Exposure to the stigmatizing language note was associated with more negative attitudes towards the patient (20.3 stigmatizing vs. 25.1 neutral, p < 0.001). Reading the stigmatizing language note was associated with less aggressive management of the patient’s pain (4.7 stigmatizing vs. 5.3 neutral, p < 0.001).
