Belly Rub

The belly rub is an underutilized physical exam maneuver, the results of which can provide vital information. If you rub the patient’s belly like a dog and the patient becomes playful and wags its tail, the patient is most likely a dog. If long claws and sharp teeth are embedded into your arm, it’s most likely a cat. Turf the patient, as appropriate, to veterinary or internal medicine.
