Extract the endoscopic event.

Source: R/Basic_EndoPathExtractors.R
EndoscopyEvent.Rd

This extracts the endoscopic event. It looks for the event term and then looks in the event sentence as well as the one above to see if the location is listed. It only looks within the endoscopy fields. If tissue is taken then this will be extracted with the HistolTypeAndSite function rather than being listed as a result as this is cleaner and more robust.
