I'd have to say a day like yesterday. A day where I was so busy that I didn't have time to think about my own problems.
A day where I had to worry about my patients, and not about myself. Yesterday I had a whole bunch of everything. I took care of a kid with a fever of 103.4 (poor little guy looked pitiful). I had a patient who's face was punched in by his sibling's boyfriend (Alcohol does so many wonderful things).
I had a patient that was worryed about herself and didn't complain about anything - she just wanted to makesure she was ok. And then I had about 100 other patients that were normal run of the mill patients.
And that was the first 12 hours. My smart self desided to add 4 more hours to myshift to help out. And in that time...man it was tiring. Again more patients (learned it was a full moon last night, that explains alot). At 5 minutes before I would be able to go home, I took 200 orders from a doc that was half asleep while he was talking to me on the phone. Gotta love my job!
But yeah, all in all it was a pretty good day - didn't have to think about how sucky life outside of the hospital is.
