Reed and Heller disagreed with Boehner's rationale, pointing out that their legislation would create jobs and was also paid for in accordance with the requests of Republicans in both chambers.
From a rationale point of view, the utility of the system -for now- is to determine which are the diagnostic processes followed by the physicians, since the data were cross-sectional and the diagnoses were made by doctors during visits.
Instead, several murders are committed in rapid succession — with no threats, no struggle, no rationale, just point-blank gunfire.
If so, it is essential to offer a rationale linking point selection to the biomedical mechanism.
Table 2 summarises the rationales (key points) behind the categorisation of the individual drugs.
The rationale for point selection is reported in Wyon et al [ 35] and similar language is used in the other four papers: "As there was very sparse experience of acupuncture therapy for climacteric symptoms, the choice of acupuncture points was a modification of points used in previous studies on acupuncture treatment of dysmenorrhoea".
It has also been proposed that the rationale for some points was difficult to understand and justify, for example the use of acupuncture points Spleen 6 and Large intestine 4 are contra-indicated in pregnancy [ 7].
For each practical skill, the resource includes: (i) an on demand web-streamed high quality video-clip of therapist-patient simulation; (ii) text describing the aim, rationale, equipment, key points, common errors and methods of progression; and (iii) a downloadable PDF document incorporating the online text information and a still image of the video-clip.
The Physiotherapy eSkills Training Online resource is an online resource incorporating (i) video-clips of patient-therapist simulations; (ii) supportive text describing the aim, rationale, equipment, key points, common errors and methods of progression; and (iii) a downloadable PDF document incorporating the online text information and a still image of the video-clip for each practical skill.
This may be as a result of the Physiotherapy eSkills Training Online resource containing supporting text describing the aim, rationale, equipment, key points, common errors and methods of progression; and a downloadable PDF document incorporating the online text information as well as the video-clip of the therapist-patient simulation.
