Nick,
When you mean no medication is being annotated, I presume you mean the
medication attributes (i.e. dosage, frequency, etc.) are not being
annotated?  I think the DrugNER needs a list of section names in the
config; I think it includes SIMPLE_SEGMENT.  I am very surprised that
SimpleSegementAnnotator is the bottle neck though; all it does is
assume the entire document is a single section called SIMPLE_SEGMENT.
Have you tried commenting out the DependencyParser if you're not using
those features.
