Medical expense deduction: I incurred medical expenses in fall of 2017. Due to bank error, they were paid in early Jan. 2018. Can I deduct this on my 2017 taxes?

Medical, like most expenses, can only be claimed in the year paid.  if not paid, for any reason, in 2017, then they could not be deducted in 2017.
