In this podcast, we talk to Tom Cardy, staff clinician in neurology and neurosurgery here at the RVC about the ‘Rule of Six’, or the ‘Six Finger Rule’ (which has no bearing on Count Rugen or indeed Inigo Montoya). It is a clever process used to teach clinical reasoning in canine spinal disease, in six steps.
