Hi,

I think there is a regression in the way cTAKES discovers the subject status 
("patient", "familiy_member", etc.) of an UmlsConcept. Using cTAKES 3.2.2 and 
the AggregatePlaintextFastUMLSProcessor in the CVD:

1. "Patient's brother has a myocardial infarction." 
"myocardial infarction" and "infarction" have subject = "patient"

2. "Father had a myocardial infarction."
"myocardial infarction" and "infarction" have subject = "patient"

3. "Sister was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction."
"myocardial infarction" and "infarction" have subject = "patient"

4. "Family member had a myocardial infarction."
"myocardial infarction" and "infarction" have subject = "family_member" (this 
is correct)

I am looking at the code of the SubjectCleartkAnalysisEngine. Is this the class 
responsible for inferring the subject?
How can this be fixed? Should I open a JIRA ticket?

Thanks,
Tomasz
