How do I used the sub extension Reference(FamilyMemberHistory)?
Assume I have patient Alice, Bob and Charlie. Bob is a family member of Alice, and Charlie is a family member of Bob.
So there are three Patient instance for Alice, Bob, and Charlie. And two FamilyMemberHistory instance for Bob, and Charlie
{
"resourceType": "FamilyMemberHistory",
"id": "fmh-Bob"
"patient": "Patient/Alice"
"name": "Bob"
...
}
and
{
"resourceType": "FamilyMemberHistory",
"id": "fmh-Charlie"
"patient": "Patient/Bob"
"name": "Charlie"
...
}
So if I use that extension in fmh-Bob, does the reference go to FamilyMemberHistory instance of Bob, or Charlie?
If the reference is FamilyMemberHistory/fmh-Bob, it is strange that a resource having an extension reference back to itself.

The expectation is that it's a local reference. Looking at it now, it would probably be better for it to have a type of 'id' instead of Reference. Feel free to submit a change request.

Example showing how it's used is here: http://build.fhir.org/list-example-familyhistory-genetics-profile.xml.html

This extension only works with contained resource. If that is correct, the usage is really limited.
The example is still confusing: Why Dave (Peter's father)'s father is Peter's maternal grandfather?

It's possible the example is broken. Feel free to submit a change request
