lungs cor rsr. I figured lung exam was separate and i was missing something he said, and then i should type .... Cor, RSR (for regular sinus rhythm). Can somebody please clarify for me? I saw another transcriptionists report that said ... lungs cor rsr. That does not look correct to me and many of these other MT's make a lot of mistakes.
Please help! Thank you much!

Active Tuberculosis
To diagnose TB of the respiratory tract, 3 to 5 sputum specimens are collected first thing in the morning on different days when they are most likely to contain the most mycobacteria. If extrapulmonary TB is suspected, samples are collected based upon where in the body the infection is likely to be. Multiple samples of gastric (stomach) washings/aspirates or urine may be collected and submitted to the laboratory. Sometimes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), biopsied tissue, or other body fluids are also collected.
