a) we can't rely on the technically_abnormal information being
   there - it needn't be a requirement in other countries
b) we can't rely on the range info being there (if it is and
   the technically_abnormal flag is missing we try to
   calculate the abnormal flag though)
c) when a clinician reviews the data she IS able to ascertain
   whether the value is technically abnormal, so we enforce
   that relation, this may be a little tough on the poor
   clinician, however
