Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-specimen and http://hl7.org/fhir/us/cancer-reporting/StructureDefinition/us-pathology-specimen

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles US Core Specimen Profile (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-specimen) and US Pathology Specimen (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/cancer-reporting/StructureDefinition/us-pathology-specimen). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
