Just curious about an edge case regarding headers/lists and wondering what 
people think the correct behavior and annotation are.

In cases like this:

#1 Dilated esophagus.
#2 Adenocarcinoma

my intuition is that each whole line is one sentence. But then there are cases 
where the number may be followed by multiple sentences on one line.
1. EGD as a complex procedure. If there is an abnormality, obtain biopsies.

For this example my intuition is not as clear. Should there be a break after 
the "1." or should the first sentence be "1. EGD as a complex procedure."? 
Again, my intuition leans towards the latter but it seems a bit odd since the 
"1." kind of distributes over all the following sentences (i.e. it's like a 
paragraph descriptor.)

Does the period after the 1 matter? The number of sentences after the list 
header? The fact that it's all on one line? Anything else?
