For instance, here's some possible types:\n lithium heparin plasma (+ .container.additive) (e.g. SNOMED CT 446272009)\n transfusion bag of blood (+ container.type)\n Peritoneal lavage (+ collection.bodySite)\n If the type includes other fields, it would be normal not to populate the other fields\n\n Note that this practice is so widespread that it's pointless to try and stop it\n "
