5 Actions for Those Times You Pray Never Come — That Show Up When You Least Expect It

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

A) EMERGENCIES — For Non Emergency Trained

5-Actions

The 5 Mission Essential Tasks (METs) For Emergencies

  • 1) Survive - Take Your Own Pulse, Breathe then Act

  • 2) Sort (Dying - Alive - Dead)

  • 3) Stabilize The Dying RIght Now (Airway, Life threatening Bleeding)

  • 4) Communicate - Get Help On the Way - Have the Alive Watch Everyone - You’re going to Make Mistakes - Some Alive will be dying - Some Dead may not be - Some Alive May Not be - Some Dying May not be - It’s not over until All are at a higher level of care.

  • 5) Transport - When the pro’s arrive They’ll Know What to Do and Where they’re going. Now you take another deep breath, pat yourself on the back and follow orders.

The above is guidance for the multiple casualty scenarios man made or natural disasters we’re seeing everyday on TV. They are not for the individual cases where Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or other ie. NARCAN for Opiod Overdose are suspected or when trained emergency personnel are onsite and taking charge.

B) EVERYTHING ELSE — The Routine Practice of Medicine

Ask and Answer Four Questions

The Four Mission Essential Tasks (METs) for Everything Else

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

That’s The Practice of Medicine

Everyone Asks, Everyone Answers

  • Questions asked and answer by and about Everyone.

  • Patients about themselves and their Healthcare Team,

  • Healthcare Team about patients, themselves and the healthcare team.

Questions asked & answered at YOUR level of

knowledge, experience and expertise.

No One Knows It All

Like Life; It’s a Team Sport—You’re Not Alone

✅ 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.

Lets Do it AGAIN: The Four Questions (METs 1–4)

FENTON’S WAY for Non Emergencies. The things You face Everyday.
They work for patients physicians and Healthcare Teams

Most Importantly; THEY WORK
.

  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?

🎯 Do We Know What We’re Doing?
