596 So.2d 1177, 17 Fla. L. Week. D875
Employer/carrier alleged that judge erred in not specifying in order why he accepted the opinion of one rehabilitation provider over that of another. Court determined that judge is required only to make findings of ultimate material facts which are necessary to demonstrate the basis of his ruling and need not explain precisely why testimony is accepted or rejected as long as itdoes not appear that contrary testimony was overlooked or ignored. Court refused to apply rule which requires the judge to explain why he accepts onedoctor's opinion over that of another to a situation where there are conflicting medical opinions.
