Tools You Can Use Today

Audience: Patients, Caregivers, Clinicians

These tools are for today’s system.
They’re free. They’re powerful. And they’re not the invention we’re patenting.

But they will help you think more clearly, partner with your physician, and fight for the highest possible quality of care — even in a broken system.

🧭 Start Here: FENTON’S WAY in Action

Question 1 = MET 1: Who Am I; Who am I Becoming?

Question 2 = MET 2: Why am I Here at This Instant; Why not Yesterday, Why not Tomorrow?

Question 3 = MET 3: Do We Know What We’re Doing?

(The Home of The Prioritized, “Up-to-Date” Medical Issue List)

THE QUESTION: DO WE KNOW WHAT WE”RE DOING?
And if no one can give you a clear answer — the real answer is probably no.

But FENTON’S WAY gives you a structure to say yes.

At its core is a powerful tool:
🧩 The Medical ISSUE List

🎯 What Makes the ISSUE List Work?

Every ISSUE in your care should be:

1. Prioritized
   (Focus on the Wolf Closest to the Sled)

2. Defined at the lowest level of abstraction
   (So you get the highest quality of care at the greatest Benefit/Cost)

🔁 The List Changes. That’s Okay.

Sometimes one ISSUE turns out to be three.
Sometimes three turn out to be one.
And what was #1 last week may drop to #4 tomorrow.

That’s life. That’s medicine.
FENTON’S WAY doesn’t fight complexity — it organizes it.

Question 4 = MET 4: When are we Leaving, Where are We Going, WHO CARES?

That’s It; Four Questions Everyone Asks & Answers

And they can only honestly answer them at their level of knowledge, experience and expertise.

Like Life; It’s a Team Sport

✅ Your Mission: Ask and Answer the Questions and Demand that Those Taking Care of You do The Same.

What delivers the highest quality of care (the highest level of performance) —
at the greatest Benefit/Cost — for this patient, today?

That’s the only question that matters.
This system helps you answer it — over and over again.

The Four Questions (METs 1–4)

These are the core of FENTON’S WAY:
They work for patients. They work for physicians.
They work in any domain.

1. Who are you — and who are you becoming?

2. Why now?

3. Do we know what we’re doing?

4. When are we leaving, where are we going, and who cares?

🎯 Medical ISSUE List: MET 3 in Detail

For each ISSUE, you should have:

• 🧠 A diagnostic plan

• 💊 A treatment plan

• 🎯 A definition of success

• 🏃‍♂️ A function plan

• 🌱 A quality-of-life plan

Each one is written, shared, and defined by the patient and their attending physician —
and each one is prioritized by Benefit/Cost.

🧠 Why Prioritize?

Because the Wolf Closest to the Sled changes fast.
These tools help you stay focused on what matters most.
