Thus one who is skillful at keeping the enemy on the move maintains deceitful appearances, according to which the enemy will act. He sacrifices something, that the enemy may snatch at it.
By holding out baits, he keeps him on the march; then with a body of picked men he lies in wait for him.
The clever combatant looks to the effect of combined energy, and does not require too much from individuals. Hence his ability to pick out the right men and utilize combined energy.
When he utilizes combined energy, his fighting men become as it were like unto rolling logs or stones. For it is the nature of a log or stone to remain motionless on level ground, and to move when on a slope; if four-cornered, to come to a standstill, but if round-shaped, to go rolling down.
Thus the energy developed by good fighting men is as the momentum of a round stone rolled down a mountain thousands of feet in height. So much on the subject of energy.

Thus one who is skilful at keeping the patient on the move maintains the online presence, according to which the patient will access. He provides some information, that the patient may snatch at it.
By holding out portals, he keeps the patient informed; then with a clinic of picked staff he calls in the patient for an appointment.
The clever consultant looks to the effect of a multidisciplinary team, and does not require too much from individuals. Hence his ability to pick out the right people and utilise a multidisciplinary team.
When he utilises a multidisciplinary team, his staff become as it were like unto rolling logs or stones. For it is the nature of a log or stone to remain motionless on level ground, and to move when on a slope; if four-cornered, to come to a standstill, but if round-shaped, to go rolling down.
