The Life Saver Toolkit
These are the tools used at the bedside, in the classroom, and around the kitchen table.
FENTON’S WAY begins here—with structure you can hold in your hand.
Whether you're a patient, physician, or caregiver:
These tools help you focus on what matters most, track it over time, and walk your journey with purpose.
🧩 Tool 1: The Four Questions
These are the Four Mission Essential Tasks (METs) for “Everything Else” in medicine—beyond the emergency.
They help patients and physicians clarify identity, urgency, goals, and accountability.
Use this worksheet to structure your thinking and communication—before, during, and after your appointments.
🩺 Tool 2: The Medical ISSUE List
Most systems track visits, codes, or events.
FENTON’S WAY tracks what matters: a living, prioritized list of actionable Medical ISSUES.
Each ISSUE includes:
- A diagnostic plan
- A treatment plan
- A definition of success
- A function plan
- A quality of life plan
Each is ranked by urgency, impact, and Benefit/Cost—defined by the patient and their attending physician.
Use this tool to bring structure and clarity to any complex case.
🚨 Tool 3: Emergency METs Field Card
In any emergency—on the street, at home, or in the field—clarity saves lives.
This pocket-sized card condenses the Five Emergency Mission Essential Tasks (METs) used by elite teams and field medics:
1. Survive
2. Sort
3. Stabilize
4. Communicate
5. Transport
Use it to train, react, and coordinate care when time and resources are scarce.
