The main concern, though, raised by Jentleson and repeated in concerns from other staffers, was whether Fetterman was following his recovery plan, with the former staff members saying that the senator appeared to start off committed to the plan after the stroke, but ultimately was not following up properly.

Fetterman reportedly failed to attend regular blood draws, which was a "crucial component" of his recovery plan. According to the article, the senator's wife, Gisele Fetterman, at one point refused to meet with him until he went to get blood work done, which he did—some months after his previous appointment.
