Report: Hospital admission for patient
Hospital report for patient:
This is in a list of routine examinations the patient underwent on his admission to hospital:
"Examen pleuro-pulmonaire: auscultation libre et symétrique"
I found a Spanish entry for a similar term (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/medical_general... so have used this suggestion for the first part of this line, but would the literal "free and symmetrical" work in English? i.e.:
"pulmonary auscultation: free and symmetrical."
