[Data-modeling] Additional properties to Disease/Physician

[Mike Shwe]

I would like to move the Disease type modeling discussion over to the
discussion page for the Medicine domain,
http://www.freebase.com/view/medicine.

So, if the interested parties would kindly follow me over there, and we can
pick up on any active medical threads, like modeling relationships among
diseases and associating diseases with genes, per Faye's post below.

Thanks
Mike
