You’d probably need to define the lookup window to include the verb 
part-of-speech tags (they all start with a v*). The default window lookup 
anchors around the n* phrases (noun phrases which are sequences of 
part-of-speech tags). You have to modify the lookup setting.
Hope this helps.

Subject: cTakes not parsing every text with SNOMED-CT

Hi,

I have been trying to parse a sample text using cTakes. However, cTakes does 
not annotate few words with its UMLS/SNOEMED CT equivalent code.

Sample text: " The patient is suffering from extreme pain due to shark bite"

cTakes output:
[Inline image 1]

If we observer in the above example, word "suffering" is not annotated with 
SNOWMED-CT equivalent code 706873003.

Can somebody explain why ? Is there any other customized SNOWMED/UMLS 
dictionary I can use to annotate everything ?
