Summary
"I don’t think I’m used to people touching me anymore.”
“I know what you mean,” she says. “Obviously, I’m touching people all the time but it’s… different, right? When it’s patients and their families?”
“Yeah.” He scrapes at the label on his beer bottle with the nail of his thumb.
“When I was in undergrad, I read this article about people needing… well, I guess it was women, but I’m not sure that matters… a certain number of non-sexual touches every day. It was mostly about mental health, but I think about it a lot.”
He thinks she’s probably thinking about her mental health a lot more lately than usual, too. “What’s the right number of touches?”
“Thirteen,” she says. Her voice sounding a little defeated. “Thirteen non-sexual touches every day. But not just any touch. It’s going to be purposeful touching. And it should be someone you’re close to. Family. A partner. Friends. Just brushing up against a stranger or shaking hands with a colleague isn’t enough to start the flow of dopamine and oxytocin.”
“Thirteen. That’s not so many.”

Summary
Patient hand-off is all about continuity of care. It's also when Samira Mohan and Jack Abbot find out they connect with each other in more ways then they could have imagined.
Follow Samira through residency as she navigates its challenges, its losses, and its victories, and considers what the future might look like if she continues on caring for a certain someone after she's completed her training.
A slow-burn story for the people who love a friends to lovers trope. Updates as often as I can, hopefully 1-2x week!

Summary
Samira's sudden departure from PTMC left everybody shocked and bewildered. No one knew of her plans, no one knew where she went or that she had in mind to do so in the first place.
After three years since her departure, things seem to be looking just normal in the ER. But not for Jack Abbot. Everything around reminds him of Samira and of the things he should've said to her while he still had the chance. He is plagued by regrets and hopes that one day he'll be able to make things right.
