    Description

      The definition and comments for 'reason' makes clear that it can be used for diagnosis - and the reference can point to Condition.  However, this overlaps with the purpose of the diagnosis element.  Either constrain reason so it can't be used for diagnosis, or drop the 'diagnosis' element.
