Hands That Know: The Circuit of Care Book 2

In the quiet choreography of the dialysis unit, healing is not only measured in numbers and charts but in gestures. Hands that Know traces the touch that steadies, the grip that reassures, the skill that remembers. These are the hands of nurses who adjust lines with practiced grace, of friends who bring biscuits wrapped in foil, of patients who reach across the aisle to share a joke or a silence. This second volume of The Circuit of Care honours the ministry of touch-where competence meets compassion, and where presence is felt most deeply in the ordinary. It is a book about knowing without words: the way a hand on a shoulder can say you are not alone, the way a signature on a chart can mean you are seen. For patients, carers, and companions alike, Hands that Know offers stories of resilience and recognition, reminding us that care is not abstract-it is embodied, practiced, and held.
