South v. Heartland Employment & Training Admin.

527 So.2d 270, 13 Fla. L. Week. 1388, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jun 10, 1988)

Although a deputy commissioner generally need not explain why he accepts the testimony of one doctor and rejects that of another this discretion is not unbridled and failure to state reasons for accepting one doctor's opinion over others is error where1) the reason for the finding in the order is not apparent from the record or2) it appears that the deputy commissioner has overlooked or ignored evidence in the record.
