I once spent two months in a hospital, enduring twelve hours of surgery. The surgery was actually enjoyable. The doctors and nurses and I talked throughout, joked, even learned about each other in ways we'd otherwise not.
There were eight of us in the operatory, from seven different countries, speaking a total of ten languages.
It was gratifying to see people committed to doing their jobs well, rather than accept mediocrity.
