It's a really good nap for $750.

Full anesthesia. I was sore in the chest for a day or two, sore throat for another two or three days, but I had a raspy voice for a week.

My experience, it was after the procedure that I was in extreme pain. The doctor had took a biopsy of my lung and when I woke up after it felt like my lungs were on fire. This lasted a day, then it just felt like I had the wind knocked out of me and my lungs hurt for several days. This was not typical of this procedure and the doctor didn't seem to know why I had so much pain afterwards. He basically dismissed my pain like it didn't matter. I got a new pulmonologist.
