Differential diagnosis

For example, if chest pain and low oxygen saturations were present, but haemoptysis was absent, the features section should look as follows:

To add a feature that is present, start typing and then click the green arrow.

To add the absence of a feature (i.e. a 'negative' finding), start typing then click the red cross.
