Hi Chanalee!

Mostly it is an economy move. Dr. Lee was treating *all* the patients in a 
large city in an underground setting - acupuncture was prohibited. Since 
she was only one person, she had to make every second count. I have used 
her "Great Ten" prescription as she used it, without any examination or 
differentiation - it *does* work. That said, it is better to take more time 
and get more focus.
